I’m a Soldier Bound for Glory

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness. 2 Tim. 4:7-8; Psa. 71:7-8

1. I’m a sol - dier bound for glo - ry, I’m a sol - dier go - ing home;
2. I will tell you what in - duced me In the glo - rious fight to start:
3. When I first com - menced my war - fare, Man - y said, “He’ll run a - way”;
4. I’m “a won - der un - to man - y,” God a - lone the change has wrought,
5. When to death’s dark, swell - ing riv - er, Like a war - rior I shall come;

Come and hear me tell my sto - ry— All who love the Sav - ior, come.
’Twas the Sav - ior’s lov - ing - kind - ness O - ver - came and won my heart.
But their words have been un - found - ed— In the fight I am to - day.
Here I raise my Eb - en - e - zer, Hith - er by His help I’m brought.
Then I mean to shout “Sal - va - tion!” And go sing - ing “glo - ry!” home.
