A SOLDIER OF THE CROSS By Eugene Titus. On every firing line for good, You find a Christian brave, A soldier of the Cross in arms. To see who he can save.
To save from sin and sorrow, and To plant hope in its place,
And to render, brave assistance, In uplifting the race.
To do his duty, come what will. And win his Cross for aye,
A soldier of the Cross of Christ, In every worldly fray.
To bring into the guarded camp.
All souls that go astray. That they may know the Lord of Hosts,
.^nd feel His love alway.
