[Verse 1]
G C G Em C G D G
The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain;
C G Em C G D G
His blood red banner streams afar: Who follows in his train?
Em C D G C D G
Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain,
C G Em C G D G
Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in his train.
G C G Em C G D G
That martyr first, whose eagle eye, Could pierce beyond the grave;
C G Em C G D G
Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on him to save.
Em C D C D G
Like him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain,
C G Em C G D G
He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train?
C G Em C G D G
A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came;
C G Em C G D G
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame.
Em C D C D G
They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane;
C G Em C G D G
They bowed their heads the death to feel: Who follows in their train?
C G Em C G D G
A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid
C G Em C G D G
Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed.
Em C D C D G
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven, Through peril, toil and pain;
C G Em C G D G
O God, to us may grace be given, To follow in their train.
