181. We Will Stand the Storm

Am I a soldier of the cross,
Am I a soldier of the cross,
A foll’wer of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?

Chorus:
We will stand the storm,
We will anchor by and by, by and by;
We will stand the storm,
We will anchor by and by.

2 Are there no foes for me to face,
Are there no foes for me to face,
Are there no foes for me to face,
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grave,
Is this vile world a friend to grave,
Is this vile world a friend to grave,
To help me on to God? [Chorus]

3 Sure I must fight if I would reign,
Sure I must fight if I would reign,
Sure I must fight if I would reign,
Increase my courage, Lord!
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word. [Chorus]
