YE ARE MY WITNESSES.

The standard, raise it higher, So that all the world may see, That it is thy great desire, More like Jesus still to be. Live thy life as Christ would live it, Never let thy sight grow dim, So thou may’st to all exhibit, Thou hast been and learned of Him.
To his truth thou art a witness, Boldly then that truth proclaim, Hinder not by doubt of fitness, Drawn not on by hope of fame; But since Jesus died to save thee, Be his glory thy delight, Tell to others how he loves thee, How he saves from Satan’s might.
Bear thou witness for thy Saviour, Not alone when friends are round, Be as bold in thy behavior When mid scoffers thou art found; Fear thou not to kneel when praying, Though the world may laugh and jeer, Perhaps some tim’rous one’s delaying,— Let thy strength his weakness cheer.
An ambassador of Heaven, Unto sinful rebels sent, Tell—their sins may be forgiven If they truly do repent, And believing trust in Jesus, As their Saviour, God and Friend, He who said, He’d never leave us, And whose love can have no end,
—Sel.
