Representative Text

1 While thousands are standing in the way of sinners,
And from God and Heaven stray,
I will love my dear Redeemer,
I will love my Lord alway.

Chorus:
Others, then, may do as they will,
I will love my Saviour still.

2 While thousands are walking in ungodly counsel,
Doing not the Master's will,
I will keep his pure commandments,
I will love my Saviour still. [Chorus]

3 While thousands are sitting with the vain and scornful,
Hating truth, and loving ill,
I will praise the Lord that saves me,
I will love my Saviour still. [Chorus]

4 Like trees that are planted by the streams of water,
Decked with fruit, and evergreen,
They who love their Lord and Master,
Ever blooming shall be seen. [Chorus]
