I'M A Soldier

I'm a soldier bound for glory,
I'm a soldier going home;
Come and hear me tell my story
All who love the Savior, come

I love Jesus, hallelujah!
I love Jesus, yes, I do, I do;
I love Jesus, He's my Savior;
Jesus smiles and loves me too.
I will tell you what induced me.

In the glorious fight to start:
'Twas the Savior's loving-kindness
Overcame and won my heart.
When I first commenced my warfare,
Many said, "He'll run away";
But their words have been unfounded
In the fight I am today.
I'm "a wonder unto many,"
God alone the change has wrought;
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by His help I'm brought.
When to death's dark, swelling river,
Like a warrior I shall come,
Then I mean to shout "Salvation!"
And go singing "glory!" home
