Though the battle may be hard, and the conflict        sore
Rough and rocky        the road we’re traveling on
Hold on a little longer, take Jesus by the hand
He’ll guide us        safe to        the Glory Land

Supposed to be taken from Issac Watts - I Am Soldier Of The Cross but couldn't find anything

Some variations


Though the battle may be hot
And the conflict slow
Though rugged the road
As you travel along
Hold on a little longer
Take Jesus at His word
He’ll carry you through, right through
To the promise land


The battle may be hard
And the conflict sore.
Though rocky the road as we travel along.
Hold on a little longer, take Jesus at His word.
He'll carry you through, right through to the Promise land.
(Rept.)

RunrigFan, the lyrics at that site share many similarities. However, note it's posed as a question: "Am I a Soldier of the Cross?"

I hope that helps.

I'm confused. The link bares no resemblance to the lyrics posted above. I posted a link where the song (gospel chorus), was used.

I'm confused, too. The lyrics on the link I posted are attributed to Watts and Sankey. Beats me.

The Happy Goodmans do some of the song under the title, "I Am a Soldier."
