Stand alone for Jesus
Till the shadows fall;
Stand alone for Jesus,
He is Lord of all;
Heed His tender pleading,
List the earnest call;
Stand alone for Jesus.
Refrain
Stand alone for Jesus;
Stand alone for Jesus;
In the world’s mad strife,
Alone in Him is life,
Brother, stand alone for Jesus.
Stand alone for Jesus,
All the world forsake;
Come to this deep fountain
And your thirst now slake;
Why delay, to righteousness,
O man, awake;
Stand alone for Jesus.
Refrain
Stand alone for Jesus,
For the dawn is near;
Trust in His sweet mercy,
Never have a fear;
In the land of Beulah
Is a place of cheer;
Stand alone for Jesus.
