50. Soldiers of the King

1 We're soldiers of the King,
Redeem'd and saved by blood,
And now enlisted for the war,
To fight for Christ the Lord,
In peril oft are we,
But joyfully we sing,
Our hearts made strong by Him who leads
The soldiers of the King.

Chorus:
We're soldiers of the King,
His praises we will sing,
And we will serve Him loyally,
Our Great and Glorious King.

2 We're soldiers of the King,
His Name we gladly bear,
The Name once nail'd above the Cross,
When Christ, our King was there;
We'll count our losses gain,
And welcome every sting,
To honor our Lord Jesus' Name,
As soldiers of the King. [Chorus]

3 We're soldiers of the King,
With Him we shall appear,
If we with Him shall suffer now,
And His rejection share.
Then lift His banner high,
For time is on the wing,
The crowning day is hast'ning on,
For soldiers of the King. [Chorus]
