Stand up for the truth

Stand up for the truth all your lifetime,

And never be tempted away;

Stand firm in your duty though others

May seek you to lead you astray;

Stand firm though companions around you,

Are yielding to error and sin;

Stand firm, and when this life is over;

A heavenly crown you will win.

Chorus:

Stand up for the truth all your lifetime,

And never be tempted to sin;

Stand up for the truth all your lifetime,

A heavenly crown you will win.

Stand up for the truth without falter,

Though pathways of sin may look bright;

Yet sooner or later they'll plunge you

In misery "darkness and might.”

Stand firm! tho' the tempter revile you,

Stand firm like the oak in the wood;

No matter what ills may beguile you,

Stand up for the true and the good.

Stand up for the truth! be in earnest;

Whatever you say or you do;

For this is the noblest of lessons,

The Bible is teaching to you.

Stand firm, all your days, for hereafter,

Oh! sweet are the joys you will share:

Stand firm! and your Heavenly Father

Will keep you forever in his care.
