Crown him as your captain In temptation's hour; Let his will enfold you In its light and pow'r. 6 Christians, this Lord Jesus Shall return again In his Father's glory, With his angel train; For all wreaths of empire Meet upon his brow, And our hearts confess him King of glory now. 7 Glory then to Jesus, Who, the Prince of light, To a world in darkness Brought the gift of sight; Praise to God the Father; In the Spirit's love Praise we all together Him who reigns above.

His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below - He follows in his train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his master in the sky And called on him to save. Like him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for those who did the wrong - Who follows in his train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints; their hope they knew And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel - Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, girls and boys, With men and women saved, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n Through peril, toil, and pain. O God, to us may grace be giv'n To follow in their train! Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW
