Consecrated Hymns ‎#2

2. Be True to Your Colors

1 Be true to your colors, O soldiers of God,
Ne’er parley with sin by the way;
Remember your Captain is trusting your word;
Be faithful to Him ev’ry day.

Refrain:
Be true to your colors, yes, loyal and true,
Temptations you’ll meet by the way;
Then wave high the standard of Jesus, your King,
Be true to your colors each day.

2 Be true to your colors, speak out for your Lord,
A witness for Him you should prove;
Stand fast in the faith, by His strength overcome,
And you shall rejoice in His love. [Refrain]

3 Be true to your colors, ne’er trail in the dust
The standard Christ gave you to bear;
Unfurl it on high, ‘neath its folds march along;
A crown all the faithful shall wear. [Refrain]
