Be Thou Faithful Unto Death by John H. Kurzenknabe

Be thou faithful unto death,
Patiently bear ev'ry trial;
All through toil and self-denial,
Labor till thy latest breath.
Be thou faithful unto death.

Labor on to win the crown,
Royal honors shall be thine;
Never lay thy armor down
Till the vict'ry's won.

Be thou faithful unto death.
What if all the world despises?
Do not heed her vain devices,
Do not yield nor give a breadth:
Be thou faithful unto death.

Labor on to win the crown,
Royal honors shall be thine;
Never lay thy armor down
Till the vict'ry's won.

Be thou faithful unto death.
Never doubt the promise given;
Firmly set thy steps t'ward heaven:
Keep the tempter underneath.
Be thou faithful unto death.

Labor on to win the crown,
Royal honors shall be thine;
Never lay thy armor down
Till the vict'ry's won.

Be thou faithful unto death;
Holy ardor make thee fervent,
Till the Master calls His servant,
Put thy trusty sword to sheath:
Thou'st been faithful unto death.

Labor on to win the crown,
Royal honors shall be thine;
Never lay thy armor down
Till the vict'ry's won.

Child of God, oh, hear Him saying,
"In temptation look to me.
E'en when Satan's pow'r seems strongest,
Thy salvation I will be."

Be still, be still,
Be still and know that I am God,
Be still, be still,
Be still and know that I am God.

"In the midst of fiery trials,
Thou canst walk without a fear,
For My presence shall be with thee,
Thou wilt ever find Me near."

Be still, be still,
Be still and know that I am God,
Be still, be still,
Be still and know that I am God.

"When the journey's end is nearing,
When dark Jordan rolls before,
Falter not, I have redeem'd thee,
I will bear thee safely o'er."

Be still, be still,
Be still and know that I am God,
Be still, be still,
Be still and know that I am God.
