Take your Stand.

By M. Wells

TAKE your stand, pilgrim! cheerfully, hopefully, And battle for Jesus e'en now, while you may; Soon cometh the darkness, the night draweth o'er thee, Soon passeth the harvest, soon endeth the day.
Take your stand, brother! watchfully, carefully, And fling all the cares of darkness aside; Dark legions are working! watch your heart closely, All those shall conquer who in Jesus abide.
Take your stand, sister! prayerfully, earnestly, Let not the vain fashions of folly allure,— When the King cometh how glad they'll receive him, Whose garments are spotless, whose hearts are made pure.
Take your stand, firmly, soon Jesus is coming! Praise to the Lord for the promise that's given! Have your lamps trimmed, and your lights burn- ing brightly; Soon we'll exchange all these conflicts for heaven! M. Wells.
