Full Text
1 Soldiers who to Christ belong, Trust ye in His word, be strong; For His promises are sure, His rewards for aye endure. 2 His no crowns that pass away, His no palm that sees decay, His the joy that shall not fade, His the light that knows no shade; 3 His the home for spirits blest, Where He gives them peaceful rest, Far above the starry skies, In the bliss of Paradise. 4 Here on earth ye can but clasp Things that perish in the grasp; Lift your hearts, then, to the skies; God Himself shall be your prize. 5 Praise we now with saints at rest Father, Son, and Spirit blest; For His promises are sure, His rewards shall aye endure.
