Crusader's Prayer - Words and Arrangement by Master Niall Townly

Chorus
Bless me my God as I go to war,
for Thee and my King are what I’m fighting for
I’ll be showered with glory or be seen no more
and die on the Holy Land’s shore

Richard our King has called for our swords
To fight in Outremer to tame the pagan horde
In serving my King I too serve the Lord
In Heaven shall be my reward

Chorus

Our horses and men in such fine array
For Christ and God’s Kingdom we soon sail away
The cross on my shoulder won’t lead me astray
As I take my vows on this day

Chorus
