Living for Christ

lyricist: William Loomis, 1900
Composer: Charles Pollock

In this life of pit­falls and dan­gers

We should be ten­der and true;

Ever try­ing to let our light shine

And be Christ­ians through and through.

We should go where our Mas­ter calls us

And do what He’d have us do;

Trusting for strength in Him al­ways

And the grace that will car­ry us through.

A kind word lov­ing­ly spok­en

May cheer a faint heart by the way;

Let us not be one-day Christ­ians

But be Christ­like every day.

There are words that should be un­spok­en

And deeds that were best un­done

If we would be like the Sav­ior

And a crown with stars be won.
