O Christian, Awake!

1O Christian, awake! 'tis the Master's command; With helmet and shield, and a sword in thy hand, To meet the bold tempter, go, fearlessly go, And stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe.

RefrainAnd stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe, Then stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe. And stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe, Then stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe.

2What tho' like a lion he seeketh his prey; Take heed and beware of his cunning today; The cause of thy Master with vigor defend; Be watchful, be sober, on Christ still depend.

3Press on, never doubting, thy Captain is near, With grace to supply, and with comfort to cheer; His love, like a stream in the desert, will flow, And stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe.
