Song written by:
Original in English: Isaac Watts

1
Am I a soldier of the cross
A follower 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 flowery 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

Sure I must fight if I would reign
Increase my courage Lord
I’ll bear the toil endure the pain
Supported by Thy Word

5
Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer though they die
They see the triumph from afar
By faith’s discerning eye

6
When that illustrious day shall rise
And all Thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies
The glory shall be Thine
