46. Our Password

1. Tried and loyal soldiers,
Faithful to the last,
When our Christian armor
We aside shall case,
When the song of vict'ry
Tells the battle's o'er,
Have we all the password
To the other shore.

Chorus:
Jesus! is the password;
Glory! hallelujah!
Jesus! is the password,--
Who bought us with his blood;
Jesus! is the password;
Glory! hallelujah!
We'll shout it forth in triumph
when we cross the swelling flood.

2. Sailors on the billow,
Tossing all the night,
Looking up and waiting
For the dawn of light,
When we make the harbor,
Where the storm shall cease,
Do we know the password
To the port of peace.
[Chorus]

3 Toilers in the vineyard,
Sowing year by year
Seeds at early morning
Pearl'd with many a tear,
When our sheaves we gather,
In the twilight ray,
Do we know the password
To the gates of day.
[Chorus]
