COURAGE! SOLDIERS

By R. F. C.

Cheer up! ye soldiers of the cross, The moment soon will come When you shall lay your armor off, And see your long-sought home. The eternal gates will wide unfold, Obedient to our King, And entering hosts, with harps of gold, Triumphantly shall sing.
Cho.—The war is o'er, the victory won, We come to lay our armor down At Jesus' feet, and wear the crown, Of glory evermore.
What though the warfare be severe, And enemies be strong; And painful watchings, dark and drear, The tedious night prolong; Our Captain has been here before, He felt each cruel sting; Courage! the strife will soon be o'er, And then with joy we'll sing.
Cho.—The war is o'er, the victory won, &c.
Many a soldier in this strife, Has freely died and gone, Counting it joy to give his life, For him, the Crucified, And when our Captain comes again, Those from the dead he'll bring, And they with us, and we with them, Triumphantly will sing.
Cho.—The war is o'er, the victory won, &c.
Oh! 'twill be joy, but to behold That glad immortal throng Enter and walk the streets of gold, And sing the victor's song; To see that host, and hear that song Will be worth everything; But those who will may join that throng, With them you too may sing.
Cho.—The war is o'er, the victory won, &c.
R. F. C.
