Text:Stand fast
Tune:[Can you stand for God, tho' you stand alone]

80b. Stand fast

1 Can you stand for God, tho' you stand alone,
With your heart at rest, and your soul secure;
With the rock beneath, and in front the throne,
Can you stand and still endure?

Chorus:
Can you stand, can you stand, can you stand for Christ alone?
If we stand in the strife 'till the end of life,
We shall stand at the heav'nly throne.

2 Can you stand for God when the heart grows faint,
And your sad soul looks through the blinding tears;
Can you bear life's sorrows without complaint,
Through the tedious, toilsome year? [Chorus]

3 Can you stand with faith, though the time be long,
Though the night be dark, and the day-star dim;
Can you stand for truth, and in Christ be strong,
'Till you stand complete in him? [Chorus]
