Am I A Soldier Of The Cross? Lyrics

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. 5. Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh.** 6. When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thy armies shine In robes of victory through skies, The glory shall be Thine.
