Author: Howard Arnold Walter Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #106 (1934) First Line: I would be true, for there are those who trust me Lyrics: 1 I would be true, for there are those who trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care;
I would be strong, for there is much to suffer;
I would be brave, for there is much to dare,
I would be brave, for there is much to dear.
2 I would be friend of all– the foe, the friendless;
I would be giving, and forget the gift;
I would be humble, for I know my weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift,
I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift. Languages: English Tune Title: [I would be true, for there are those who trust me]
