Never will his promise fail;
Only let us press the closer
When the pow'rs of sin assail.
Chorus:
Steady, steady, loyal soldiers,
Take your orders day by day;
True and faithful, follow Jesus,
Follow all the way.

There's a part for us to do;
Hold aloft the gospel banner,
Cheerfully the pledge renew. [Chorus]
3 When we wholly trust in Jesus,
When our hearts in love outflow,
We will learn the happy secret
Of a blessed life below. [Chorus]

Gladly answer, "here am I;"
We are marching on to glory,
Singing of our home on high. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Never will the Master leave us]

She felt a need to be useful to her church and began writing poems for the primary department. she went on to teach Sunday school, take an active part in the Philadelphia Elementary Union and become Superintendent of the primary department of Calvin Presbyterian Church.

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
