The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#912

912. Ye valiant soldiers of the cross

1 Ye valiant soldiers of the cross,
Ye happy praying band,
Though in this world we suffer loss,
We’ll reach fair Canaan’s land.

Refrain:
Bright crowns there are, bright crowns laid up on high,
For you and me there’s a palm of victory;
There’s a palm of victory.

2 All earthly pleasures we’ll forsake,
While Heaven appears in view;
In Jesus’ strength we’ll undertake
To fight our passage through.

3 O what a glorious shout there’ll be
When Heaven at last is won;
Jesus, and all our friends, we’ll see,
And God shall say: Well done.
