Representative Text

1 Standing by the cross of Jesus,
Thro’ faith His throne we see,
Where amid the hosts of Heaven,
The Christian’s home shall be.

Refrain:
Glory, glory to the Savior!
He’s my shepherd,
And my strength and shield!
And to Him, the King of glory,
Sinful hosts shall yield.

2 Let me bear the cross for Jesus,
And wait not by the way;
Gladly I’ll obey His precepts,
And always trust and pray. [Refrain]

3 Happy, happy Christian soldier!
Be watchful and be true;
Never leave the post of duty
That Christ has giv’n to you. [Refrain]
