94. Loyalty to Christ in All Things

Loyalty to Christ in all things,
Loyalty to Christ, loyalty to Christ,
Loyalty to Christ at all times,
Shall be our rule each day.

1 A tribute to the Christ we bring,
Of praises loyal hearts may sing;
An offering of incense sweet,
And purpose true for service meet.

Refrain:
Loyalty to Christ in all things,
Loyalty to Christ at all times,
Loyal, loyal, loyal, loyal,
Loyalty to Christ our King.

2 Christ’s people are his body true,
His blessed work we have to do;
He dies and lives in us each day,
And is the “life, the truth, the way.” [Refrain]

3 The sons of God his Spirit needs
To show “the things of Christ” in deeds,
“To keep our hearts,” to love the Lord,
And ever to obey his word. [Refrain]

4 O may each youthful Christian band
For Christ’s full truth with courage stand;
And pray, and serve, and teach, and give,
In loyalty to Christ to live. [Refrain]
