Soldier, soldier, fighting in the world’s great strife

lyricist: R. Hudson Pope
Composer: R. Hudson Pope

Soldier

soldier

fighting in the world’s great strife

On thyself relying

battling for thy life;

Trust thyself no longer

Trust to Christ—He’s stronger;

I can all things

all things do

Through Christ

which strengtheneth me.

In your daily duty

standing up for right

Are you sometimes weary—heart not always light?

Doubt your Savior never

This your motto ever:

I can all things

all things do

Through Christ

which strengtheneth me.

If your way be weary He will help you through—

Help you in your troubles and your pleasures too;

Say

when Satan’s by you;

Say

when all things try you:

I can all things

all things do

Through Christ

which strengtheneth me.

In a world of trouble

tempted oft to stray

You need never stumble

Satan cannot stay

Will but tempt you vainly

If you tell him plainly:

I can all things

all things do

Through Christ

which strengtheneth me.

Jesus’ power is boundless

boundless as the sea;

He is always able

able to keep me

Power bring from my weakness

Glory from my meekness:

I can all things

all things do

Through Christ

which strengtheneth me.
