Soldiers of the King (Mason)

We’re sol­diers of the King

re­deemed

And saved thro’ Je­sus’ blood;

Enlisted now for Zi­on’s war

To fight for Christ our Lord.

We’ll bear His ban­ner where He leads

And serve Him as we go;

Beneath His cross while time thus speeds

Resolved but Christ to know.

Then sing

glad­ly sing

And bat­tle for the right;

We’ll laud and mag­ni­fy our king

And serve Him with de­light.

We’re sold­iers of the King

to­day

We march in num­bers strong;

We’ll take this world with­out de­lay

By pray­er and faith and song;

Our cap­tain leads us on­ward

He

The Lord of earth and skies

Shall gain for us the vic­to­ry

The foe be­fore Him flees.

We’re sol­diers of the King

and go

With grace suf­fi­cient blest

Naught but the Spir­it’s lead to know

Nor dare to think of rest.

Until we stand with bat­tle scars

And wounds be­fore the throne

Where we shall dwell be­yond the stars

With Christ in Heav’n our home.
