3 Soldiers of Christ are we,
Light, Love, and Liberty
  Our battle call! 
Till truth shall win the day,
Till right shall gain the sway,
Till sin is driven away,
  We fight or fall.

428 Webb. 7s & 6s.

     (771)

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
  Ye soldiers of the cross! 
Lift high his royal banner,
  It must not suffer loss;
From victory unto victory
  His army shall he lead,
Till every foe is vanquished. 
  And Christ is Lord indeed.

2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus. 
  The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
  In this his glorious day;
Ye that are men! now serve him,
  Against unnumbered foes;
Your courage rise with danger,
  And strength to strength oppose.

3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
  Stand in his strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you;
  Ye dare not trust your own;
Put on the gospel armor,
  And, watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger,
  Be never wanting there.

4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus: 
  The strife will not be long;
This day, the noise of battle,—­
  The next, the victor’s song;
To him that overcometh,
  A crown of life shall be;
He, with the King of glory,
  Shall reign eternally!

     George Duffield, 1858.

Psalm 27. (772)

God is my strong salvation;
  What foe have I to fear? 
In darkness and temptation,
  My Light, my Help is near: 
Though hosts encamp around me,
  Firm to the fight I stand;
What terror can confound me,
  With God at my right hand?

2 Place on the Lord reliance;
  My soul! with courage wait;
His truth be thine affiance,
  When faint and desolate;
His might thy heart shall strengthen,
  His love thy joy increase;
Mercy thy days shall lengthen;
  The Lord will give thee peace.

     James Montgomery, 1822.

430 Yield Not to Temptation.  P.M.

Courage.

Yield not to temptation,
  For yielding is sin;
Each vict’ry will help you
  Some other to win. 
Fight manfully onward,
  Dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus,
  He’ll carry you through.

Cho.—­Ask the Savior to help you,
      Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
      He is willing to aid you,
      He will carry you through.

2 Shun evil companions,
  Bad language disdain,
God’s name hold in rev’rence,
  Nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest,
  Kind-hearted and true;
Look ever to Jesus,
  He’ll carry you through.

3 To him that o’ercometh,
  God giveth a crown;
Through faith we shall conquer,
  Though often cast down;
He who is our Savior
  Our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus,
  He’ll carry you through.
