Lyrics

As the days are go­ing by,
Do you raise God’s ban­ner high
Who has bought you with His own most pre­cious blood?
Do you own your Lord each day,
While up­on your pil­grim way,
Are you loy­al to the match­less Son of God?

Refrain

O be faith­ful, O be true,
To the One who died for you;
By and by comes sweet re­ward,
That shall last while bliss­ful ag­es roll away.

When the foes of God arise,
Who His blest com­mands des­pise,
Do you bold­ly stand for Je­sus and the right?
Are you found with­in His field,
There His migh­ty sword to wield,
Clad in ar­mor that is ev­er shin­ing bright?

Refrain

Be the crowd the more, the less,
Do you Je­sus’ name con­fess,
Do you show your co­lors, pil­grims, ev­ery­where?
When be­fore God’s host you stand,
In the won­drous glo­ry land,
Will your Lord con­fess you ’mid the an­gels there?
