Triumphant Songs No.2 ‎#49

49. Walk in the Light

1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follow’r of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own his cause,
Or blush to speak his name?

Refrain:
Let us walk in the Light,
Let us walk in the Light,
Oh, let us walk in the Light,
In the light, the beautiful Light of God.

2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease?
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro’ bloody seas? [Refrain]

3 Are there 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? [Refrain]

4 Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy word. [Refrain]
