Intro:

Am C G Am G Am

Verse 1:
     Am             F        G      Am     G        Am
The Son of God goes forth to war, a kingly crown to gain
    Am               F        G        Am F    G      Am
His blood-red banner streams afar, who follows in his train
F   C        Am        G      F         C     G    F
Who best can drink His cup of woe, triumphant over pain
    F                 C       G       Am      F  G   Am
Who patient bears His cross below, he follows in His train

Verse 2:
     Am                 F     G          Am       G        Am
The martyr first, whose eagle eye, could pierce beyond the grave
    Am             F      G       Am     F  G      Am
Who saw his master in the sky and called on Him to save
F    C         Am     G      F          C        G      F
Like Him, with pardon on His tongue, in midst of mortal pain
   F                    C       G          Am      F  G   Am
He prayed for them that did the wrong, who follows in His train

Verse 3:
  Am                 F      G      Am       G      Am
A glorious band, the chosen few on whom the spirit came
       Am                   F         G        Am     F   G         Am
Twelve valiant saints their hope they knew and mocked the cross and flame
F    C       Am       G          F          C      G    F
They met the tyrant's brandished steel, the lion's gory mane
     F                     C        G         Am      F  G     Am
They bowed their necks the death to feel, who follows in their train

Verse 4:
  Am          F       G         Am     G       Am
A noble army, men and boys, the matron and the maid
 Am                 F        G        Am    F  G       Am
Around the Savior's throne rejoice in robes of light arrayed
F    C           Am      G       F               C      G        F
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n, through peril, toil and pain
   F             C        G        Am     F  G     Am
O God, to us may grace be giv'n to follow in their train
