Boundless Love ‎#159

159. How Shall You Stand?

1 How shall you stand, my brother,
If from Jesus you will stray?
How shall you stand, my brother,
If you drift so far away?

Refrain:
How shall you stand? how shall you stand?
How shall you stand when the King draws nigh?
You must be saved without delay,
For He passeth quickly by.

2 Christ beckons you, my brother,
He calls you, “O, come today,”
For He’s the one that loves you,
He will stop the tempter’s sway. [Refrain]

3 Christ in your soul, my brother,
Will help you for heav’n to start;
And He will keep you, brother,
To your soul His grace impart. [Refrain]
