This hymn has a unique 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.
