Be Faithful and True

Representative Text

1 Be faithful and true in all that you do,
The world needs the loyal and brave;
Be strong for the right and march in the light,
Be faithful to Christ who can save.

Chorus:
O be faithful and true, yes, faithful and true;
march forth, march forth with your banner unfurled;
Be faithful and true in all that you do,
And with the Savior you may conquer the world.

2 Be faithful and true; there’s plenty to do,
Each day you may do some kind deed;
The world is a field, rich fruit it will yield
If you will but scatter good seed. [Chorus]

3 Be faithful and true; the Lord is with you,
His armor and sword bravely bear,
With love as your shield on life’s battle-field;
The conqueror’s crown you shall wear. [Chorus]

4 Be faithful and true; the Savior loves you,
He’ll help you to conquer all sin;
One step at a time you upward may climb,
Sweet comfort and peace you may win. [Chorus]
