Representative Text

1 Quit you like men, be strong
Lean on Thy Lord's right hand!
Why should you faint or be dismayed,
When He is in command?

Chorus:
Stand fast in the faith,
Quit you like men, be strong!
Hearken to what your Lord hath said;
He is thy strength and song.

2 Quit you like men, be strong,
Hold up faith's mighty shield!
thine are the weapons of His grace,
To these His foes shall yield. [Chorus]

3 Quit you like men, be strong,
For bold is Satan's host;
Courage, ye soldiers of the Lord,
That may His triumphs boast! [Chorus]

4 Quit you like men, be strong,
In God's whole armour clad,
War a good warfare to the end;
Spread ye the tidings glad. [Chorus]
