True
-Hearted, Whole-Hearted
“By grace you have been saved through faith. And that is
not your own doing, it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8 ESV. God gives us
this grace because of our faithfulness and loyalty to Him. Through baptism we
become His child and therefore we are obedient to His words and put Him first
before our desires and needs. It is not our will, but God’s, will we desire.
Lyrics by Frances R. Havergal, arranged by George C.
Stebbins
“True-hearted, whole-hearted, faithful and loyal, King of
our lives by Thy grace we will be; Under the standard exalted and royal, strong
in Thy strength we will battle for Thee.
True-hearted, whole-hearted, fullest allegiance yielding
henceforth to our glorious King; Valiant endeavor and loving obedience, freely
and joyously now would we bring.
True-hearted, whole-hearted, Savior, all glorious! Take
Thy great power and reign there alone, over our wills and affections
victorious, freely surrendered and wholly Thine own.
Peal out the watch-word! Silence it never! Song of our
spirits, rejoicing and free; Peal out the watch-word! Loyal forever, King of
our lives, by Thy grace we will be.”
