In this crooked and perverse nation,
all things changing e'en heaven and earth shake,
Satan is always busy working,
many servants and Christians disappeared.
Is your heart also in fear and doubt,
filled with worry, lost in direction?
Arise, strive bravely for His Kingdom,
Arise, give yourself faithful to your King!
Refrain
Be faithful! faithful! Let the holy watchword ring!
Be faithful to your trust, be faithful to your glorious King!
Be faithful! faithful! Though others do not follow,
whatsoe'er betide, ever at His side, let Him always see your true.
Let others gain glory in the world,
let others prosper and gain worldly fame,
they are but striving after the wind,
all is vanity in just a moment.
Do not compromise with the devil,
neither be friend nor close to the world,
remember you are heav'nly brothers,
separate, and be faithful to the Lord!
Refrain
Not to dread the fierce pow'r of Satan,
not to fear others' mocking and judgement,
obey the command of the captain,
willingly follow in all His footsteps.
Like the three warriors in the furnace,
had no fear to the king's fierce command,
they were so valiant for their dear Lord,
were faithful to Him even unto death!
Refrain
Be faithful in small and great matters,
long for the Lord's praise rather than man's love,
the light, momentary affliction,
cannot surpass the eternal glory.
When the Lord shall descend from heaven,
faithful saints will meet Him in the air,
then He will say,"You have been faithful,
come, enjoy the boundless blessings with me."
Refrain
