The Colored Sacred Harp, Third Revised edition ‎#3

3. AM I A SOLDIER OF THE CROSS

1. Am I a soldier of the cross?
A foll'wer of the Lord?
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His Name?

2. Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease?
Whilst others fought to win the prize
And sail'd thru 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?
