30. Bright crown

1 Ye valiant soldiers of the cross,
Ye happy, praying band,
Though in this world ye suffer loss,
You'll reach fair Canaan's land;

Chorus:
Let us never mind the scoff nor the frowns of the world,
For we all have the cross to bear;
It will only make the crown the brighter to shine,
When we have the crown to wear.
