Music: Take a Stand, , 1886 . Al­ter­nate tune:


Take a stand for Jesus, let all people know
That you mean to serve Him everywhere you go.
High or low your station, rich or poor your lot,
Take a stand for Jesus, and forsake Him not.

Refrain

Take a stand for Jesus, let all people know
That you mean to serve Him everywhere you go.

Take a stand for Jesus, never blush for shame;
Never fail or falter, show yourself the same.
He will always own you, always give you grace;
Take a stand for Jesus, then, in every place.

Refrain

Take a stand for Jesus, His commands are sweet;
Never fear the battle, never sound retreat.
Here the Captain’s calling, where the standard flies;
Take a stand for Jesus, fight to win the prize.

Refrain

Take a stand for Jesus, loyal be and true;
Show a good confession, as He showed for you.
Take a stand for Jesus, think of crown and palm,
Think of heights of glory, and the victor’s psalm.

Refrain
