STAND UP FOR JEHOVAH.

By Miss Toria A. Buck

STAND up for Jehovah! and high in the light Let the blood-blazoned banner be flying, Let not the foe daunt thee, and dread not his might, Nor yield thee to sorrow, or sighing. Gird on thy bright armor, the armor of God, And fight for thy King who hath won thee; He knows thee, he loves thee, 'tis written in blood, And falls in rich blessings upon thee.

Stand up for Jehovah! what matter though sin, In its soul-blighting snares, may have bound thee? The power of his might thy worn spirit shall win; With His strong arms of love flung around thee. Stand firm, my brave warriors, nor yield in the fight, But on, o'er the battle-field gory; Still onward, and upward, with face to the light, And eyes on the bright hills of glory.

Stand up for Jehovah! 'tis noon of the night Ere the stars in the skies are the brightest; The storm-driven wave is the strongest in might, And the high-drifted snow is the whitest. Not fear, and not danger, not sorrow or death, Nor the fire in the crucible glowing, Can daunt our brave hearts, while Jehovah's warm breath Across our glad spirit is blowing. —Miss Toria A. Buck, in Church Union.
