Who’ll Stand Up for Jesus?

O who’ll stand up for Je­sus

The low­ly Na­za­rene?

And raise the blood stained ban­ner

Amid the hosts of sin?

The cross for Christ I’ll cher­ish

Its cru­ci­fix­ion bear;

All hail! re­proach or sor­row

If Je­sus leads me there.

O

who will fol­low Je­sus

Amid re­proach and shame?

Where oth­ers shrink or fal­ter

Who’ll glo­ry in His name?

Though fierce may rage the bat­tle

And wild the storm may blow

Though friends may go for­ev­er

Who will with Je­sus go?

Though foes shall mad­ly ga­ther

And de­vils rage and roar

Who’ll choose the fie­ry fur­nace

With Je­sus ev­er­more?

My all to Christ I’ve giv­en

My tal­ents

time

and voice

Myself

my re­pu­ta­tion

The lone way is my choice.

O Je­sus

Je­sus

Je­sus

My all suf­fi­cient friend!

Come

fold me to Thy bo­som

E’en to the jour­ney’s end.
