112. Loyalty to Christ

1 Upon the western plain
There comes the signal strain,
‘Tis loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ;
Its music rolls along,
The hills take up the song,
Of loyalty, loyalty,
Yes, loyalty to Christ.

Refrain:
“On to victory! On to victory!”
Cries our great Commander; “On!”
We’ll move at His command,
We’ll soon possess the land,
Thro’ loyalty, loyalty,
Yes, loyalty to Christ.

2 O hear ye brave the sound
That moves the earth around,
‘Tis loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ;
Arise to dare and do,
Ring out the watchword true,
Of loyalty, loyalty,
Yes, loyalty to Christ. [Refrain]

3 Come, join our loyal throng,
We’ll rout the giant wrong,
‘Tis loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ;
Where Satan’s banners float,
We’ll send this bugle note,
Of loyalty, loyalty,
Yes, loyalty to Christ. [Refrain]

4 The strength of youth we lay
At Jesus’ feet today,
‘Tis loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ;
His gospel we’ll proclaim,
Thro’out the world’s domain,
Of loyalty, loyalty,
Yes, loyalty to Christ. [Refrain]
