When the Battle's Over

Melody - Winchester Old

Isaac Watts, 1709

Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His Name?

Refrain:
And when the battle's over
We shall wear a crown!
|: Yes, we shall wear a crown! :|
And when the battle's over
We shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem
|: Wear a crown wear a crown :|
Wear a bright and shining crown;
And when the battle's over
We shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem.
  Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?
Refrain:

Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
Refrain:
