The Son of God goes forth to war
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood-red banner streams afar!
Who follows in his train?
Who best can drink His cup of woe
Triumphant over pain
Who patient bears his cross below
He follows in His train
Who would dare to follow in His train?
The martyr first whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave
Who saw his Master in the sky
And called on Him to save
Like Him with pardon on His tongue
In midst of mortal pain
He prayed for them that did the wrong!
Who follows in His train?
Who is gonna follow in that train?
A glorious band the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came
Twelve valiant saints their hope they knew
And mocked the cross and flame
They met the tyrant's brandished steel
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?
Are you gonna follow
Friend got the guts to follow?
A noble army men and boys
The matron and the maid
Around the Savior's throne rejoice
In robes of light arrayed
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n
Through peril toil and pain;
O God to us may grace be giv'n
To follow in their train
Who follows in their train?
Who's gonna follow?
Are you gonna follow?
Oh friend you gotta follow in this train
