Verse 1

Am I a soldier of the cross, A follow'r of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name?

Verse 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?

Verse 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?

Verse 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.
