Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Total Praise #592 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Am I a solder of the cross Refrain First Line: And when the battle's over we shall wear a crown! Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A foll'wer of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
Refrain:
And when the battle's over we shall wear a crown!
Yes, we shall wear a crown!
Yes, we shall wear a crown!
And when the battle's over we shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem.
Wear a crown, wear a crown,
Wear a bright and shining crown,
And when the battle's over we shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem.
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro' bloody seas? [Refrain]
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? [Refrain]
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.
