Sheet music
- 1Am 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?Must I be carried to the skiesOn flowery beds of ease,While others fought to win the prize,And sailed thro’ bloody seas?
- 2Are 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?Sure I must fight, in Jesus’ name;Increase my courage, Lord;I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,Supported by Thy Word.
