Standing in the evil day (Alternate Tune)

1
Standing in the evil day,
Heeding not what men may say,
Fearing not the face of clay,
  Christian soldier, stand.
2
Standing for the Word of God,
Standing for the precious blood,
Following where the saints have trod,
  Christian soldier, stand.
3
Stand ’mid Satan’s every wile,
Stand ’mid pleasure’s wanton smile,
Stand when error would beguile;
  Christian soldier, stand.
4
Stand till ends life’s little day,
Stand for Jesus, come what may,
Stand and fight and watch and pray;
  Christian soldier, stand.

As I was considering these verses in the Word of God this morning, this hymn came to me. In such a dark age, we can stand against the evil tide, and shine forth Christ!

“They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works” – Titus 1:16

“Some having a form of Godliness but denying its power” – 2 Timothy 3:5

“False prophets come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves” – Matthew 7:15

“As Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ” – 2 Corinthians 11:3

“Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil” – Ephesians 6:11
