Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #260 (1957) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 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 thro' bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this, our 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.
Amen. Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:3 Tune Title: ARLINGTON
