FULL and Correct Lyrics
1 I'm a soldier bound for Glory,
I’m a soldier going home;
Come and hear me tell my story,
All who love the Saviour, come.
I love Jesus, hallelujah!
I love Jesus, yes, I do;
I love Jesus, he’s my Saviour,
Jesus smiles and loves me too.
Chorus
It’s a long rough way to Calvary with the cross at the end
And each torn will be a blood-drop
And each nail will rend;
But the cross will change to glory when the conflict is past
And the dawning light of Calvary leads to heaven at last.
2 I will tell you what induced me
In this glorious fight to start:
‘Twas the Savior’s loving-kindness
Overcame and won my heart.
When I first commenced my warfare,
Many said, “I’d run away”;
But they all have been deceived
In the fight I’m in today.
Chorus
It’s a long rough way to Calvary with the cross at the end
And each torn will be a blood-drop
And each nail will rend;
But the cross will change to glory when the conflict is past
And the dawning light of Calvary leads to heaven at last.
3 I’m a wonder unto many,
God alone that change was wrought;
Here I raise my “Ebenezer”,
Either by His help I’m brought,
When to death’s dark, swelling river,
Like a warrior I shall stand
Then I mean to shout “Salvation!”
And go singing “glory! home.”
