Crowning Day, No. 6 ‎#214

214. The Crowning Time Is Coming

1 O be faithful, Christian soldiers, in a very little while
You will reach the land of promise, there to bask in Jesus’ smile;
Be courageous, brave and loyal, lift the crimson banner high—
O the crowning time is coming, yes, ‘its coming, by and by.

Refrain:
It is coming, quickly coming,
O the crowning time is coming, by and by,
It is coming, quickly coming,
O the crowning time is coming, by and by.

2 On to battle, Christian soldiers, for the truth and for the right,
In the name of Christ your Captain, on, to conquer in the fight;
On, to gather precious trophies for the shining home on high—
O the crowning time is coming, yes, ‘its coming, by and by. [Refrain]

3 Go and stand among the foremost, God’s own sword to bravely wield,
Keep your armor shining brightly, fight until the foe shall yield;
You shall surely come off victors, “more than conq’rers” if you try—
O the crowning time is coming, yes, ‘its coming, by and by. [Refrain]
