1 Can the Lord count you faithful?
Is your heart true today?
Is your life pure and holy?
What does your conscience say?

Refrain:
Can the Lord count on you today?
Will you His pure commands obey—
Ever keep steadfast all the way?
Can the Lord count you faithful?

2 Look in the Bible, brother,
Then at the way you live:
Can the Lord as He views you
His full approval give? [Refrain]

3 Can the dear Savior trust you,
Where’er your path may lead,
Staunchly to stand, and loyal?
Will you be His indeed? [Refrain]

4 “Faithful to death,” the motto
Shines on our banners high;
Faithful to Christ forever,
This is our battle cry. [Refrain]
