Am I a soldier of the cross,

Or blush to speak His name?

We will anchor by and by.
2 Are there no foes for me to face,
Are there no foes for me to face,
Are there no foes for me to face,
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God? [Refrain]
3 Sure I must fight if I would reign,
Sure I must fight if I would reign,
Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord!
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word. [Refrain] Topics: Book Four: Occasional Selections, Gospel Songs and Hymns; Christian Life Fight of Faith Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:4 Languages: English Tune Title: WE WILL STAND THE STORM
