Long, Long Ago, With Vows Too Much Forgotten, The Cross Of Christ Was Seal'D On Every Brow, Ah! Slow Of Heart, That Shun The Christian Conflict; Rise Up At Last! The Accepted Time Is Now. Soldiers Of Jesus! Blest Who Endure; Stand In The Battle; The Victory Is Sure. Hark! Hark! The Saviour'S Voice To Each Is Calling-- "I Bore The Cross Of Death In Pain For Thee; On Thee The Cross Of Daily Life Is Falling: Children! Take Up The Cross And Follow Me." Soldiers Of Jesus! &C. Strive As God'S Saints Have Striven In All Ages; Press Those Slow Steps Where Firmer Feet Have Trod: For Us Their Lives Adorn The Sacred Pages, For Them A Crown Of Glory Is With God. Soldiers Of Jesus! &C. Peace! Peace! Sweet Voices Bring An Ancient Story, (Such Songs Angelic Melodies Employ,) "Hard Is The Strife, But Unconceived The Glory: Short Is The Pain, Eternal Is The Joy." Soldiers Of Jesus! &C. On! Christian Souls, All Base Temptations Spurning, Drown Coward Thoughts In Faith'S Triumphant Hymn; Since Jesus Suffer'D, Our Salvation Earning, Shall We Not Toil That We May Rest With Him? Soldiers Of Jesus! &C. Amen.
