146. True and Loyal

1 True and loyal to our Lord above,
Trusting wholly in His saving love,
Thus we come before the mercy-seat,
To praise Him with music sweet.

Chorus:
Truehearted and loyal in word and in deed,
Faithful and firm in allegiance to King and to creed,
Steadfast in service and devoted in praise may we be,
O Lord, Jesus, the very foundation of truth in Thee.

2 True and loyal to that King who came,
Full reliance from our hearts to claim,
His the word that thro’ all the time endures,
And pardon for sin assures. [Chorus]

3 True and loyal to our Lord and King,
Let the joyous proclamation ring,
All unworthy claims aside we thrust,
In Him do we put our trust. [Chorus]
