36. Loyal Soldiers

1 True in heart and loyal we are ever,
To our Lord and Master, in each day’s endeavor;
True in thought, in deed, in word and purpose,
To our Lord and King.
Help us, Jesus, day by day, to be true to Thee,
To live all for Thee;
Guide our steps in life’s bright way,
Hear us, Saviour, King.
Soldiers loyal, serving Christ, our Leader,
We will never falter, we will never waver,
Help us e’er stand firm for Thee,
Saviour, Lord and King.

2 Ever on from strength to strength progressing,
Every pow’r impressing, we would by His blessing,
Give ourselves in loving hearted service
To our Lord and King.
Help us, Jesus, day by day, to be true to Thee,
To live all for Thee;
Guide our steps in life’s bright way,
Hear us, Saviour, King.
Going forth unto the world-wide reaping,
Fainting not nor sleeping, faith and courage keeping,
May we win the world for Thee,
Saviour, Lord and King.

3 Marching onward, ever onward, upward,
Marching ever forward, marching ever heav’n-ward,
Bearing high the cross emblazoned banner
To our Lord and King.
Help us, Jesus, day by day, to be true to Thee,
To live all for Thee;
Guide our steps in life’s bright way,
Hear us, Saviour, King.
In the might of Him who reigneth o’er us,
We will be victorious, in our cause so glorious,
And the world shall worship Thee,
Saviour, Lord and King.
