12209. Let Us Stand For Right

1 Let us stand for right with a loyal heart,
Whatsoe’er befall, doing well our part;
If you heedless grow, ’mid the battle’s din,
You’ll o’ertaken be by the hosts of sin.

Refrain:
Let us stand for right and the wrong defy,
We shall victory gain in the by and by;
Let us stand for right till the call shall come,
And we go to dwell with our Lord at home.

2 Let us stand for right in the Savior’s name,
With a strength that we thro’ His grace shall claim;
Tho’ the tempter pleads, we will never yield,
For our Lord is near, from the foe to shield. [Refrain]

3 Let us stand for right till we banish wrong,
If we faithful prove, it will not be long;
Then the song of peace we shall gladly sing,
And the victory cry far and wide shall ring. [Refrain]
