Parkhill Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 1 #178 (1890) First Line: I will try to be a soldier of the cross Refrain First Line: Onward, soldier, to the battle Lyrics: 1 I will try to be a soldier of the cross, Tho' its banner leads in wild and rugged ways; Tho' the spirit meets with burden and with loss, And the clouds of grief may shadow all my days. Chorus: Onward, soldier, to the battle, Ther [sic] awaits a crown of beauty and of light, Gird thine armor, be thy ardor, To the battle in his glory and might. 2 I will try to be a soldier of the cross, For my Savior keepeth watch and ward above; He will make the spirit triumph over loss, For He leadeth all His children in His love. [Chorus] 3 I will try to be a soldier of the cross, And the spirit will not sink beneath its load; For the dearest ties of earth are only dross, And our souls should only upward look to God.
