Christian Soldier by James P. Carrell — Lyrics
Am I a soldier of the cross?
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?

About Christian Soldier
James P. Carrell's Christian Soldier is a powerful anthem for STB choir, set to a familiar English text. The music opens with a bold, declamatory style, immediately establishing the serious and resolute mood of the lyrics. The interplay between the voices builds, reflecting the earnest questions posed by the text regarding commitment and sacrifice. The composer captures the martial spirit of the hymn, urging listeners to consider the challenges faced by those who have committed to their faith. This piece is well-suited for choirs seeking a stirring and thematically rich anthem that explores the nature of Christian discipleship with conviction and musical strength.
