21860. DYING FOR MY KING
Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 1
Once there was a soldier, faithful, brave and true, Sent to fiercest battle, left by all he knew; Still he thought within him midst the ghastly scene, "I will keep on fighting, fighting for my king.
Verse 2
Enemies before him, all his eyes could see, Then a flashing arrow, and his crimson stream; Though no ear could hear it, softly whispered he, "Oh, I know I'm dying, dying for my king.
Verse 3
I am, too, a soldier, fighting for my King, Yet He's gone before me, suffered ev'rything; Felt the wounds of battle, bore my miseries; Yes, I've a King more noble, my King died for me.
