Stand, Soldier of the Cross

Arise and be baptized And wash your sins away; Your league with God be solemnized, Thy faith confessed today.

Verse 3

No more your own, but Christ's, With all the saints of old, Apostles, seers, evangelists, And martyr throngs enrolled.

Verse 4

O bright the conqueror's crown, The song of triumph sweet, When faith casts every trophy down At our great Captain's feet.

Verse 5

All glory to the Son, Who comes to set us free, With Father, Spirit, ever One, Through all eternity. Amen.
