Stand, soldier of the cross

1.

Stand, soldier of the cross

Thy high allegiance claim

And vow to hold the world but loss

For Thy Redeemer’s name

2.

Arise and be baptized

And wash Thy sins away

Thy league with God be solemnized

Thy faith avouch’d today

3.

No more thine own, but Christ’s

With all the saints of old

Apostles, seers, evangelist

And martyr throng enrolled.

4.

In God’s whole armour strong

Front hell’s embattled pow’rs

The warfare may be sharp and long

The vict’ry must be ours.

5.

Oh, bring the conqu’ror’s crown

The song of triumph sweet

When faith casts every trophy down

At our great Captain’s feet
