Songs of Matchless Love ‎#39

39. Quit You Like Men

1 Be strong to toil in the vineyard wide,
And in the service of Christ abide;
A rich reward you at last shall win,
When all the sheaves shall be gathered in.

Refrain:
Quit you like men, be strong!
The fight may be fierce and long,
But in God’s strength we shall win at length;
Then quit you like men, be strong!

2 Be strong to take up your daily cross,
And bear for Christ any pain or loss,
Until, the burdens of life laid down,
Jesus shall give you a fadeless crown. [Refrain]

3 Be strong to battle against all sin,
The foes without and the foes within;
Conquer by faith in the cleansing blood,
Conquer the world by the help of God. [Refrain]

4 Be brave and faithful, and courage take;
Never, no, never your Lord forsake;
Fight till the conflict on earth is done;
Fight till the vict’ry thro’ Christ is won. [Refrain]
