\na follower of the Lamb,
\nand shall I fear to own his cause,
\nor blush to speak his name?<\/p>\n

\nMust I be carried to the skies
\non flowery beds of ease,
\nwhile others fought to win the prize,
\nand sailed through bloody seas?<\/p>\n

\nAre there no foes for me to face?
\nMust I not stem the flood?
\nIs this vile world a friend to grace,
\nto help me on to God?<\/p>\n

\nSure I must fight, if I would reign;
\nincrease my courage, Lord
\nI’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
\nsupported by thy word<\/p>\n

\nThy saints in all this glorious war
\nshall conquer though they die;
\nthey see the triumph from afar,
\nby faith they bring it nigh<\/p>\n

\nWhen that illustrious day shall rise,
\nand all thy armies shine
\nin robes of victory through the skies,
\nthe glory shall be thine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
