When the Battle's Over

[Verse 1] Am I a soldier of the cross, A foll'wer of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His name? [Chorus] And when the battle's over we shall wear a crown! Yes, 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. [Verse 2] Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed thro' bloody seas? [Chorus] And when the battle's over we shall wear a crown! Yes, 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. [Verse 3] 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? [Chorus] And when the battle's over we shall wear a crown! Yes, 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. [Verse 4] Sure, I must fight if I would reign, Increase my courage, Lord: I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. [Chorus] And when the battle's over we shall wear a crown! Yes, 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.
