O the world in sin is dy­ing, loy­al be;
Go you forth to­day in Je­sus’ name;
All the ev­il hosts de­fy­ing, loy­al be,
And His peace and li­ber­ty pro­claim!

Refrain

Loyal be to the Lord,
Strive to ban­ish sin and woe;
Loyal be, send the Word,
Till the world His love shall know.

Countless la­bor­ers He is need­ing, loyal be;
For the grain is un­to har­vest white;
Let Him not in vain be plead­ing, loy­al be,
Gladly toil for Him un­til the night.

Refrain

Think how Je­sus died to save you, loy­al be;
How He bids you oth­ers’ bur­dens bear;
Let not world­ly cares en­slave you, loy­al be;
Seek the lost ones, and your bless­ings share.

Refrain

Whatsoever may op­pose you, loy­al be;
Boldly do your du­ty, ne­ver fear;
Looking un­to Him who chose you, loyal be;
For to bless and keep, He’s ev­er near.
