1.
Am
I
a
sol-dier
of
the
cross
A
fol'wer
of
the
Lamb?
And
shall
I
fear
to
own
his
cause,
Or
blush
to
speak
his
name?
2.
Must
I
be
carried
to
the
skies
On
flow'ry
beds
of
ease,
While
oth
-
ers
fought
to
win
the
prize,
And
sail'd
through
bloody
seas?
3. Are
there
no
foes
for
me
fo
face?
Must
I
not
stem
the
flood?
Is
this
vile
world
a
friend
to
grace
to
help
me
on
to
God?
4. Sure
I
must
fight
if
I
would
reign;
Increase
my
cour-age
Lord:
I'll
bear
the
toil,
en
-
dure
the
pain,
sup-port-ed
by
thy
grace.
Chorus.
Oh
the
Lamb,
the
liv

Lamb,
the
Lamb
of
Cal

ry,
The
Lamb
that
was
slain,
but
lives
a
-
gain,
to
in-ter-cede
for
me.

to
1860.
