1 Stand by your colors, let each deed and action show
Who you are serving, as through life you onward go;
Many are faithless, seeking worldly praise and fame;
Live as a Christian! let your life reflect His name.

Refrain:
Stand by your colors, loyal, brave, and true!
Stand by your colors, God is watching you!
“Her am I, Master,” let your answer be,
Stand by your colors, shouting “victory!”

2 Stand by your colors, let the love of Christ constrain;
Through good and evil follow ever in His train;
Up at His calling, moving on with steady tread,
Go forth rejoicing, for your Captain’s just ahead. [Refrain]

3 Stand by your colors, never compromise with sin!
Strong to deliver, Christ will give you pow’r to win;
Looking to Jesus, trust in Him, and Him alone;
Who overcometh will the King of glory own. [Refrain]

Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
