1. Can you be obedient
  To the Lord of all,
  Though the earth should totter,
  Though the heav'ns should fall?
  Face e'en a disaster
  With a faith��filled heart,
  Knowing naught can harm him
  Who with Christ will start?
2. Can you be obedient
  To the Lord you serve,
  Never even flinch, friend,
  Never even swerve;
  Though your next step onward
  Seem to lead to death?
  Can you then obey Him
  Without bated breath?
3. Can you trust your Leader
  When He bids you go
  Right into the battle
  With a might foe?
  Can you step up briskly
  And with joy obey?
  Can you fight the battle,
  Till the end of day?
4. Can you? Then beloved,
  Christ just waits for you;
  Listen for His orders,
  Glad His will to do;
  Then when soldiers muster
  At the set of sun,
  And your name is mentioned,
  Christ will say, "Well done."
