Soldiers, Who Are Christ’s Below

lyricist: John Clark, 1865
Composer: Ignaz Pleyel, 1791

Soldiers

who are Christ’s be­low

Strong in faith re­sist the foe:

Boundless is the pledged re­ward

Unto them who serve the Lord.

’Tis no palm of fad­ing leaves

That the con­quer­or’s hand re­ceives;

Joys are his

se­rene and pure

Light that ev­er shall en­dure.

For the souls that ov­er­come

Waits the beau­te­ous heav­en­ly home

Where the bless­èd ev­er­more

Tread

on high

the star­ry floor.

Passing soon and lit­tle worth

Are the things that tempt on earth;

Heavenward lift thy soul’s re­gard;

God Him­self is thy re­ward.

Father

who the crown dost give

Savior

by whose death we live

Spirit

who our hearts dost raise

Three in One

Thy name we praise.
