Truehearted, wholehearted, faithful and loyal
King of our lives, by Thy grace we will be
Under the standard exalted and royal
Strong in Thy strength we will battle for Thee
Peal out the watchword! Silence it never!
Song of our spirits, rejoicing and free
Peal out the watchword! Loyal forever!
King of our lives, by Thy grace we will be
Truehearted, wholehearted! Fullest allegiance
Yielding henceforth to our glorious King!
Valiant endeavor and loving obedience
Freely and joyously now would we bring
Truehearted, wholehearted, Savior all glorious
Take Thy great power and reign Thou alone
Over our wills and affections victorious—
Freely surrendered and wholly Thine own
Alternate verses:
Truehearted! Savior, Thou knowest our story
Weak are the hearts that we lay at Thy feet
Sinful and treacherous! yet, for Thy glory
Heal them, and cleanse them from sin and deceit
Half-hearted, false-hearted! Heed we the warning!
Only the whole can be perfectly true
Bring the whole offering, all timid thought scorning
Truehearted only if whole-hearted too
| |
Half-hearted! Savior, shall aught be withholden
Giving Thee part Who has given us all?
Blessings outpouring, and promises golden
Pledging, with never reserve or recall!
Half-hearted? Master, shall any who know Thee
Grudge Thee their lives, Who has laid down Thine own?
Nay! we would offer the hearts that we owe Thee
Live for Thy love and Thy glory alone
Sisters, dear sisters, the call is resounding
Will ye not echo the silver refrain
Mighty and sweet, and in gladness abounding?
"Truehearted, whole-hearted!" ringing again
Jesus is with us, His rest is before us
Brightly His standard is waving above
Sisters, dear sisters, in gathering chorus
Peal out the watchword of courage and love
