Representative Text

1 Strong to do the will of Jesus,
Strong to bear my cross each day;
Strong to be a faithful worker,
Doing good along life’s way.

Refrain:
Strong to be an earnest Christian,
Strong the right to always do;
In the midst of sin, for Jesus
Ev’ry moment to be true.

2 Strong to meet the world’s temptation,
Strong to always do the right;
Trying hard to please my Master,
Always living in His light. [Refrain]

3 Strong to witness for my Saviour,
Strong to give a helping hand;
To some tempted, troubled brother,
Trying hard for God to stand. [Refrain]
