THE NAME OF JESUS IS OUR STAND
1. The name of
Jesus is our stand,
It is our victory;
Not on ourselves do
we rely,
But mighty Lord on
Thee.
Our weapons are not
arms of flesh,
But ours the
Spirit's sword,
And God's whole
armor putting on,
We battle in the
Lord.
2. Behold, the foe
doth meet and plot,
Stand firm in one
accord!
Tho' war be fierce
and darkness thick.
Resist him in the
Lord!
If one thro' fear
should backward turn,
He undermines the
rest.
Oh, do not let your
brothers down,
Nor by you be
distressed.
3. The devil knows
his time is short,
He is the more
enraged,
And by his wiles
would weaken us
Before the battle's
waged.
The trials now more
numerous are,
The suff'ring e'en
more sore,
The force of hell
opposing us
More dreadful than
before.
4. What should our
posture be today
In such a desp'rate
hour?
Should we our ease
and pleasure seek
And let the foe
devour?
Or with increasing
conflict strong,
Courageous to
endure?
'Tis here that life
or death is won!
Who will God's
praise secure?
5. For Christ the
Lord we then would stand,
He is the
Conqueror!
For Him we would
endure the pain
Until the fight is
o'er.
The hour of triumph
soon we'll see -
The Lord will come
again!
If now we suffer
for His sake,
Then we with Him
shall reign.
