First Line: Be faithful unto death
Last Line: Be faithful unto death.'
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


BE faithful unto death. Christ proffers thee
Crown of a life that draws immortal breath:
To thee He saith, yea and He saith to me,
'Be faithful unto death.'

To every living soul that same He saith,
'Be faithful': -- whatsoever else we be,
Let us be faithful, challenging His faith.

Tho' trouble storm around us like the sea,
Tho' hell surge up to scare us and to scathe,
Tho' heaven and earth betake themselves to flee,
'Be faithful unto death.'
