Author: W. Hay M. H. Aitken Hymnal: The Male Chorus No. 1 #52 (1888) First Line: "Quit you like men!" Life's battle lies before you Refrain First Line: Faithful and loyal Lyrics: 1 "Quit you like men!"
Life's battle lies before you:
Will you prove traitors to your Prince above?
Will ye desert His standard floating o'er you–
The bannered Cross of Jesus' dying love?
Chorus:
Faithful and loyal, Master, may we be,
Living or dying, faithful still to Thee.
Serving the Christ, and serving Him, forever
From Satan's bondage He will keep you free.
2 "Quit you like men!"
Heaven's victor-voices call you;
Oh, be ashamed of all your coward shame;
Let not the fear of man of fiend appal you;
They always win who fight in Jesus' name. [Chorus]
3 "Quit you like men!"
No longer slaves of passion;
Led by your lusts or Mammon's selfish greed!
No more enthralled by some unholy fashion,
Freed by God's Son, then are ye free indeed. [Chorus]
4 "Quit you like men!"
Be true to you true nature;
Are not our bodies temples of our God?
Grow up in Christ to manhood's fullest stature,
Tread in the steps the Perfect Man hath trod. [Chorus]
5 "Quit you like men!"
"Behold the Man!" that liveth,
And once was slain, that ye may live to God;
Take to your hearts the'eternal life He giveth–
Peace, pardon, pow'r He purchased with His blood. [Chorus]
