Soldiers who to Christ belong

Verse 1

Soldiers who to Christ belong, Trust ye in His word, be strong; For His promises are sure, His rewards for aye endure.

Verse 2

His no crowns that pass away, His no palm that sees decay, His the joy that shall not fade, His the light that knows no shade;

Verse 3

His the home for spirits blest, Where He gives them peaceful rest, Far above the starry skies, In the bliss of Paradise.

Verse 4

Here on earth ye can but clasp, Things that perish in the grasp; Lift your hearts, then, to the skies; God Himself shall be your prize.

Verse 5

Praise we now with saints at rest, Father, Son, and Spirit blest; For His promises are sure, His rewards shall aye endure.
