SS&S Hymn #1102: From yonder western

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1

From yonder western plain
There comes the signal strain,
Tis loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ!
Its music rolls along,
The hills take up the song
Of loyalty, loyalty, yes, loyalty to Christ!
"On to victory! On to victory!"
Cries our great Commander!
"On!" . . . We’ll move at His command;
We’ll soon possess the land,
Through loyalty, loyalty, yes, loyalty to Christ!

2

Oh hear, ye brave, the sound
That moves the earth around,
’Tis loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ!
Arise to dare and do,
Ring out the watchword true
Of loyalty, loyalty, yes, loyalty to Christ!

3

Come join our loyal throng,
We’ll rout the giant wrong,
Through loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ!
Where Satan’s banners float
We’ll send this bugle note
Of loyalty, loyalty, yes, loyalty to Christ!

4

The strength of youth we lay
At Jesus’ feet to-day,
Through loyalty, loyalty, loyalty to Christ!
The Gospel we’ll proclaim
Throughout the world’s domain,
Of loyalty, loyalty, yes, loyalty to Christ!
