Hymnal: The Little Seraph #80b (1874) First Line: Can you stand for God, tho' you stand alone Refrain First Line: Can you stand, can you stand, can you stand for Christ alone? Lyrics: 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] Tune Title: [Can you stand for God, tho' you stand alone]
