O who’ll stand up for Je­sus,
The low­ly Na­za­rene?
And raise the blood stained ban­ner
Amid the hosts of sin?

Refrain

The cross for Christ I’ll cher­ish,
Its cru­ci­fix­ion bear;
All hail! re­proach or sor­row,
If Je­sus leads me there.

O, who will fol­low Je­sus,
Amid re­proach and shame?
Where oth­ers shrink or fal­ter,
Who’ll glo­ry in His name?

Refrain

Though fierce may rage the bat­tle,
And wild the storm may blow,
Though friends may go for­ev­er,
Who will with Je­sus go?

Refrain

Though foes shall mad­ly ga­ther,
And de­vils rage and roar,
Who’ll choose the fie­ry fur­nace,
With Je­sus ev­er­more?

Refrain

My all to Christ I’ve given,
My tal­ents, time, and voice,
Myself, my re­pu­ta­tion,
The lone way is my choice.

Refrain

O Je­sus, Je­sus, Je­sus,
My all suf­fi­cient friend!
Come, fold me to Thy bo­som,
E’en to the jour­ney’s end.
