| 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! |
| | Though war be fierce and darkness thick, |
| | | Resist him in the Lord! |
| | If one thru 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 desperate 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. |
