BE TRUE
1. We are going
forth from the school of Jesus,
We have sat at His
blessed feet.
We have drunk from
truth's celestial fountain,
We have tasted its
honey sweet.
We are witnesses
for our blessed Master
In a world where
friends are few;
And He sends us
forth with the watchword holy,
Whatsoever it
costs, "Be true."
Refrain
Be true! Be true!
Let the holy
watchword ring;
Be true to your
trust,
Be true to your
glorious King;
Be true! Be true!
Whether friends be false
or few;
Whatsoe'er betide,
ever at His side,
Let Him always find
you true.
2. We are going
forth from the upper chamber,
From the days of
our Pentecost,
We have giv'n
ourselves in a full surrender,
And been filled
with the Holy Ghost.
We are going forth
as epistles holy.
And to live as
Christ would do;
Let us always
represent our Master,
Let our life be
always true.
3. We are going
forth with a glorious mission,
As ambassadors for
God,
We are sent with
heaven's last word of mercy,
Over all the world
abroad.
We are sent to save
from the blight of sorrow,
And the curse of
sin undo;
With a work so
grand and a trust so holy,
Oh, what heart
would not be true?
