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?
In the name, the precious name.
Of Him who died for me,
Through grace I'll win the promised crown,
Whate'er my cross may be!
Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?
In the name, the precious name.
Of Him who died for me,
Through grace I'll win the promised crown,
Whate'er my cross may be!
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?
In the name, the precious name.
Of Him who died for me,
Through grace I'll win the promised crown,
Whate'er my cross may be!
Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord.
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word.
In the name, the precious name.
Of Him who died for me,
Through grace I'll win the promised crown,
Whate'er my cross may be!
Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
By faith they bring it nigh.**
In the name, the precious name.
Of Him who died for me,
Through grace I'll win the promised crown,
Whate'er my cross may be!
When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all Thy armies shine
In robes of victory through skies,
The glory shall be Thine.
In the name, the precious name.
Of Him who died for me,
Through grace I'll win the promised crown,
Whate'er my cross may be!
