On Duty Forever

1 I’ve promised the Savior to always be true,
On duty forever;
Although my companions be many or few,
On duty forever.

Chorus:
On duty forever;
On duty forever;
Tho’ dark the night may be,
I will be ever true to Thee,
Braving the perils of land or sea,
Lord, I’m on duty forever.

2 Whenever I’m tempted to faint, I but thin,
On duty forever;
And stooping, my spirit takes one more deep drink,
On duty forever. [Chorus]

3 If perchance He whispers, stay now where you dwell,
On duty forever;
I shall be contented and answer all’s well—
On duty forever. [Chorus]

4 When I have fought bravely and finished my course,
On duty forever;
I then shall be changed to the heavenly force,
On duty forever. [Chorus]

5 A crown of bright glory is waiting for me,
On duty forever;
And there with my Lord and the blood washed I’ll be,
On duty forever. [Chorus]
