The Son Of God Goes Forth To War,
A Kingly Crown To Gain ;
His Blood-Red Banner Streams Afar,
Who Follows In His Train ?
Who Best Can Drink His Cup Of Woe,
Triumphant Over Pain ;
Who Patient Bears His Cross Below,
He Follows In His Train.
The Martyr First, Whose Eagle Eye
Could Pierce Beyond The Grave
Who Saw His Master In The Sky,
And Called On Him To Save
Like Him, With Pardon On His Tongue,
In Midst Of Mortal Pain,
He Prayed For Them That Did The Wrong
Who Follows In His Train ?
A Glorious Band, The Chosen Few,
On Whom The Spirit Came:
Twelve Valiant Saints, Their Hope They Knew,
And Mocked The Cross And Flame.
They Met The Tyrant’s Brandished Steel,
The Lion’s Gory Mane
They Bowed Their Necks The Death To Feel
Who Follows In Their Train ?
A Noble Army Men And Boys
The Matron And The Maid
Around The Saviour’s Throne Rejoice,
In Robes Of Light Arrayed,
They Climbed The Steep Ascent Of Heaven
Through Peril, Toil, And Pain
O God, To Us May Grace Be Given
To Follow In Their Train.
