O brother, be faithful! Soon Jesus will come, For whom we have waited so long; O, soon we shall enter our glorious home, And join in the conquerors song. O brother, be faithful! For why should we prove Unfaithful to Him who hath shown Such deep, such unbounded and infinite love-- Who died to redeem us His own. O brother, be faithful! The city of gold, Prepared for the good and the blest, Is waiting its portals of pearl to unfold, And welcome thee in to thy rest. Then, brother, prove faithful! Not long shall we stay in weariness here, and forlorn, Times dark night of sorrow is wearing away, We haste to the glorious morn. O brother, be faithful! He soon will descend, Creations omnipotent King, While legions of angels His chariot attend, And palm wreaths, of victory bring. O brother, be faithful! And soon shalt thou hear Thy Savior pronounce the glad word, Well done, faithful servant, thy title is clear, To enter the joy of thy Lord. O brother, be faithful! Eternitys years Shall tell for thy faithfulness now, When bright smiles of gladness shall scatter thy tears, A coronet gleam on thy brow. O brother, be faithful! The promise is sure That waits for the faithful and tried; To reign wit h the ransomed, immortal and pure, And ever with Jesus abide.
