Loyalty unto Christ

Composer: Charles Gabriel, 1902

Loyalty un­to Christ

The trum­pet now is sound­ing

And the ech­oes an­swer from the fields of sin;

Nations are awak­ing

id­ol thrones are shak­ing

For the great mil­len­ni­um is com­ing in.

Like a migh­ty army

The her­alds of the cross

Are spread­ing ov­er land and sea.

Bearing through the dark­ness

The light that lead­eth

To sal­va­tion full and free.

Long and loud

Loyalty un­to Christ we sing;

Till ev­ery h­uman tongue

Shall hear His prais­es sung!

Let the hills

val­leys and de­sert plac­es ring

With Loy­al­ty un­to Christ

our Lord and king.

Loyalty

faith and works

In ho­ly con­se­cra­tion

Shall the scat­tered na­tions un­to Him re­store;

Then the world shall own Him

And with joy en­throne Him

King of kings and Lord of lords for­ev­er­more.

See the dark­ness lift­ing!

The Gos­pel light of truth

Is spread­ing to the per­fect day!

Clouds are back­ward drift­ing!

Renew en­dea­vor!

For the king pre­pare the way!

Loyalty un­to Christ!

O what a migh­ty pow­er

Were the hosts of God unit­ed in His name!

Then would an­gels greet us

Christ Him­self would meet us

And bap­tize us with the Pen­te­cost­al flame.

Then would come the tri­umph

And Christ be known and loved

His praise be sung from shore to shore;

Earth would then

in glo­ry

Become the king­dom

Of the Lord for­ev­er­more.
