Am I a Soldier of the Cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,941 hymnals Topics: Cross of the believer Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A foll'wer of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause
Or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

"Take Up Your Cross," the Savior Said
Author: Charles W. Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Topics: Cross of the believer Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior said,
"If you would my disciple be;
Take up your cross with willing heart,
And humbly follow after Me."

Fill your weak soul with vain alarm;
His strength shall bear your spirit up,
And brace your heart and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
And let your foolish pride be still;
Your Lord refused not e'en to die
Upon a cross on Calv'ry's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
And calmly every danger brave;
'Twill guide you to a better home,
And lead to vict'ry o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross, and follow Christ,
Nor think till death to lay it down;
For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown. Scripture: Psalm 23:4 Used With Tune: QUEBEC

My Savior stands between;

When all my friends are gone:
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone. [Refrain]

Though all around me is darkness
And earthly joys are flown,
My Savior whispers His promise:
Never to leave me alone. [Refrain]

The crimson, cleansing tide;

Never to leave me alone. [Refrain] Scripture: John 14:18 Used With Tune: NEVER ALONE
