Quit You Like Men, Be Strong!
"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." - 1 Cor 16:13
VERSE 1
Quit you like men, be strong!
Wax valiant in the fight;
See! yonder Captain leads the throng,
In whom is your delight.
VERSE 2
Though battle's thunders roar,
And hosts of darkness press,
He is alive for evermore,
And succours our distress.
VERSE 3
. List to the swelling strains
Of those who fought and won,
They laud the Lamb, the crimson stains
His vesture are upon:
VERSE 4
'Twas through His precious blood,
Confession to His name,
And lives laid down, that they once stood
And every foe o'ercame.
VERSE 5
Shall we, then, faint and fail
When strength seems all but gone?
Nay, rather, on your Captain call
And look to Him alone.
VERSE 6
"For I am strong when weak,"
O count this saying true,
The Lord doth strength and comfort speak
As no one else can do.
