Stand by the cross
when the morning sun
Beams on your way so bright;
Stand by the cross
when the shadows fall,
Soon we will triumph
for God and right.
Stand by the cross, soldier, stand,
Vict’ry will come by and by;
Stand by the cross, soldier, stand,
And we’ll conquer though we die.
Stand by the cross
till the day is done,
Firm to the end and true;
Trust when the battle
is raging wild,
For there is waiting
a crown for you.
Stand by the cross, soldier, stand,
Vict’ry will come by and by;
Stand by the cross, soldier, stand,
And we’ll conquer though we die.
Stand by the cross
like a soldier strong,
Fearlessly face the foe;
Soon shall the army
of night recede,
Back from the morning’s
triumphant glow.
Stand by the cross, soldier, stand,
Vict’ry will come by and by;
Stand by the cross, soldier, stand,
And we’ll conquer though we die.
Stand by the cross
till the Lord returns,
Faithful through life’s last test;
Soon we shall hear
from His blessed lips,
“Lay down thy armor
and be at rest.”
Stand by the cross, soldier, stand,
Vict’ry will come by and by;
Stand by the cross, soldier, stand,
And we’ll conquer though we die.
