Text: | Faithful and True |
Author: | Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. |
Tune: | [I want to be faithful to Jesus] |
Composer: | Adam Geibel |
1 I want to be faithful to Jesus,
No matter what path I pursue;
I want to live close to the Saviour,
I want to be faithful and true.
Chorus:
I want to be true to the Master,
I'll do what he bids me to do;
I want to be faithful to Jesus,
I want to be faithful and true.
2 In face of the foes that oppose me,
By faith I will fight my way through;
Since I have been called by the Master,
I want to be faithful and true. [Chorus]
3 I've thoughts in my heart I must conquer,
And evil desires to subdue;
But if I'm to bear his dear image,
I want to be faithful and true. [Chorus]
4 For only to those who are faithful
A bright crown is held up to view;
So, until he calls me to glory,
I want to be faithful and true. [Chorus]
