Hymn 613 – STAND, soldier of the cross | C&S English Hymnary

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, evangelists The martyr throngs enrolled. 4. In God’s whole armours strong From hell’s embattled pow'rs The warfare may be sharp and long The vict‘ry must be ours. 5. Oh, bright the conqu‘ror‘s crown The song of triumph sweet When faith casts every trophy down At our great Captain's feet AMEN
