149. Be Loyal to Jesus

1 Ever be loyal to Jesus,
Trusting His wonderful word,
Growing each day in His likeness,
Nearer the heart of the Lord.
Following on in the pathway
Leading to mansions above,
Doing the will of the Master,
Fill of the joy of His love.

Refrain:
Be loyal to Jesus,
O live for His glory alone,
Yield fullest allegiance,
The Saviour of sinners now own.
Be loyal to Jesus,
Rejoice in His infinite love,
All glory to Him who reigneth
A King, a King above.

2 Ever be loyal to Jesus,
Making His service delight,
Cast down but never discouraged,
Singing glad songs in the night.
True to the charge He has given,
Living from hour to hour
Circled about by His presence,
Kept by His wonderful pow’r. [Refrain]

3 Ever be loyal to Jesus, Single in purpose and aim,
Seeking in each undertaking
Only to honor His Name.
Leaving the world and its pleasures,
Faithful in that which is least,
Finding in Christ our Passover,
Truly a glorious feast. [Refrain]
