Author: Elizabeth C. Gaskell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9038 First Line: Sleep not, soldier of the cross Refrain First Line: Sleep not, soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Sleep not, soldier of the cross,
Foes are lurking all around;
Look not here to find repose;
This is but thy battleground.
Refrain:
Sleep not, soldier of the cross,
Foes are lurking all around;
Look not here to find repose;
This is but thy battleground.
2 Up! and take thy shield and sword!
Up! it is the call of Heav’n;
Shrink not faithless from thy Lord;
Nobly strive, as He hath striven. [Refrain]
3 Break thro’ all the force of ill;
Tread the might of passion down;
Struggling onward, onward still,
To thy conquering Savior’s crown. [Refrain]
4 Thro’ the midst of toil and pain,
Let this thought ne’er leave thy breast;
Every triumph thou dost gain
Makes more sweet thy coming rest. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: NAVARRE
