Stand fast for Christ thy Savior! Stand fast whate’er betide! Keep thou the Faith, unstained, unshamed, By keeping at His side; Be faithful, ever faithful, Where’er thy lot be cast, Refrain Stand fast for Christ thy Savior! Stand faithful to the last! Strong founded like a lighthouse, That stands the storm and shock, So be thy soul as if it shared The granite of the rock. Then far beyond the breakers Let thy calm light be cast, Refrain Stout-hearted like a soldier, Who never leaves the fight, But meets the foeman face to face And meets him with his might, So bear thee in thy battles Until the war be past, Refrain Stand fast for Christ thy Savior! He once stood fast for thee, And standeth still, and still shall stand For all eternity; Be faithful, O be faithful, To love so true, so vast, Refrain |
