In Token that Thou Shalt Not Fear

Verse 1

In token that thou shalt not fear Christ crucified to own, We print the cross upon thee here, And stamp thee His alone.

Verse 2

In token that thou shalt not blush To glory in His Name, We blazon here upon thy front His glory and His shame.

Verse 3

In token that thou shalt not flinch Christ's quarrel to maintain, But 'neath His banner manfully Firm at thy post remain.

Verse 4

In token that thou too shalt tread The path He travell'd by, Endure the cross, despise the shame, And sit thee down on high;

Verse 5

Thus outwardly and visibly We seal thee for His own: And may the brow that wears His cross Hereafter share His crown.
