In Token That Thou Shalt Not Fear

In tok­en that thou shalt not fear

Christ cru­ci­fied to own

We print the cross up­on thee here

And stamp thee His alone.

In tok­en that thou shalt not blush

To glo­ry in His name

We bla­zon here up­on thy front

His glo­ry and His shame.

In tok­en that thou shalt not flinch

Christ’s quar­rel to main­tain

But ’neath His ban­ner man­ful­ly

Firm at thy post re­main.

In tok­en that thou too shalt tread

The path He tra­veled by

Endure the cross

des­pise the shame

And sit thee down on high.

Thus out­ward­ly and vi­si­bly

We seal thee for His own;

And may the brow that wears His cross

Hereafter share His crown.
