With a cross at the front they march along, <br />Are you ready to join this happy throng? <br />Their only weapons the Bible and a book of prayer. <br />Which all are happy with you to share. <br />Their rallying call, ”Praise be to the Lord.” <br />None are conscripted they come of their own accord. <br />Happy faces filled with spiritual grace, <br />Be honest could you stand the pace? <br />No rewards or riches on this our earth, <br />Just the sure knowledge of a heavenly rebirth. <br />Bringing peace and goodwill to one and all, <br />Open your ears hear their rallying call. <br />Join this happy marching throng, <br />Then you too will know where you belong. <br />A state of happiness and peace will prevail, <br />When you the name of Jesus do hail.<br /><br />Bernard Shaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-cross-at-the-front/
