#142CHRISTIAN SOLDIER
Hymn Display
1
A SOLDIER, Lord, thou hast me made:
Thou art my Captain, Priest and Head;
And under thee I sure will fight
The fight of faith with all my might.
The cross all stained with hallow'd blood,
The ensign of our conquering Lord,
The Christian soldier's standard is,
And I will fight for King Jesus.
2
Then, O my Lord, keep me, I pray,
That I may run the narrow way,
And from my duty ne'er depart,
But live to Christ with all my heart;
Help me to walk in humbleness—
March in the way of holiness,
Oh, make me pure and spotless too,
And fit to stand the grand review.
3
That when our General shall come,
With sound of trumpet, not of drum,
'Tis then our well-dressed ranks shall stand
In full review at God's right hand.
And when our foes shall get the route,
And Jesus wheels them left about,
Then we'll march up the golden street,
And ground our arms at Jesus' feet.
4
The war is o'er, and we are free
To join the blood-washed company:
Our wages shall be harps of gold,
And songs of praise that can't be told.
There we shall drink rich draughts of wine,
The band of music we shall join,
And hallelujah's highest key
Shall be our theme eternally.
