Soldier of Christ, be steadfast!
This is the evil day;
Look to your royal leader,
Ever His word obey.
Taking the heav’nly armor,
Wait for your Lord’s command;
This is the charge He gives you,
Having done all, to stand.

Refrain

Stand, therefore, stand;
Stand, therefore, stand;
Trusting in Je­sus, our Sav­ior,
Having done all to stand.

Patient and true and faithful,
Facing the deadly foe;
Stand in the place appointed,
March when He bids you go.
All through the passing moments,
Onward to Canaan’s land;
Banish all fear and doubting,
Having done all, to stand.

Refrain

This is no time to question,
This is no time to yield;
Never a soul should falter,
Bearing His sword and shield.
Keep in the ranks of Je­sus,
Watching on every hand;
This is the Chris­tian duty,
Having done all, to stand.

Refrain
