I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His Name?
(Chorus)
And wh
en the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown!
Yes, we shall wear a crown! Yes we shall wear a crown
And when the battle’s over! we shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem
Wear a crown, wear a crown
Wear a bright and shining crown
And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown
In the New Jerusalem
(Verse)
Must
I be carried to the skies
On flow’ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?
(Chorus)
And wh
en the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown!
Yes, we shall wear a crown! Yes we shall wear a crown
And when the battle’s over! we shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem
Wear a crown, wear a crown
Wear a bright and shining crown
And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown
In the New Jerusalem
(Verse)
Are th
ere no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace
To help me on to God?
(Chorus)
And wh
en the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown!
Yes, we shall wear a crown! Yes we shall wear a crown
And when the battle’s over! we shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem
Wear a crown, wear a crown
Wear a bright and shining crown
And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown
In the New Jerusalem
(Verse)
Sure
I must fight if I would reign,
Increase my courage, Lord;
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain
Supported by Thy Word
(Chorus)
And wh
en the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown!
Yes, we shall wear a crown! Yes we shall wear a crown
And when the battle’s over! we shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem
Wear a crown, wear a crown
Wear a bright and shining crown
And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown
In the New Jerusalem
