Hymn 325
Stand, soldier of the Cross
- Stand, soldier of the Cross,
Thy high allegiance claim,
And vow to hold the world but loss
For thy Redeemer's name.
- Arise, and be baptized.
And wash thy sins away;
Thy league with God be solemnised.
Thy faith avouched today.
- No more thine own, but Christ's -
With all the saints of old,
Apostles, seers, evangelists.
And martyr throngs enrolled.
- in God's whole armour strong.
Front hell's embattled powers.
The warfare may be sharp and long
The victory must be ours.
- O bright the conqueror's crown,
The song of triumph sweet.
When faith casts every trophy down
At our great Captain's feet!
Christly Living
