1 Take a stand for Jesus,
Let all people know,
That you mean to serve Him
Ev’erywhere you go;
High or low your station,
Rich or poor your lot,
Take a stand for Jesus,
And forsake Him not.

Refrain:
Take a stand for Jesus,
Loyal be and true;
Show a good confession,
Take a stand for Jesus,
Think of crown and palm,
Thine the heights of glory,
Thine the victor’s psalm.

2 Take a stand for Jesus,
Never blush for shame;
Never fail or falter,
Show yourself the same;
He will always own you,
Always give you grace;
Take a stand for Jesus,
Then, in ev’ry place. [Refrain]

3 Take a stand for Jesus,
His commands are sweet;
Never fear the battle,
Never sound retreat;
Where the Captain’s calling,
Where the standard flies;
Take a stand for Jesus,
Fight to win the prize. [Refrain]
