You wrote the lyrics?

Yes.

What about the music?

It's an existing hymn tune called "All Saints New." That tune is used for the hymn "The Son of God Goes Forth to War" (the theme of which also give me the idea for this hymn). You can hear the tune by clicking the link at the title of the hymn.

Tour incorporation of the origninal hymns's final phrase "follow in His train" in each of the stanzas is what makes this your finest "piggyback" yet and a true masterpiece.

Well done, good and faithful servant of the Word!
