MAKE UP THE HEDGE; STAND IN THE GAP!

Resolve to stand your ground
If you're doing what is right;
Stand fast upon the Word of God,
And you'll surely win the fight.

Yield no quarter to Satan's crew,
For 'tis with him you surely strive;
Make up the hedge; stand in the gap;
God's one true Church revive!

Those who don't obey the Word
Rebel against the Lord!
Pray for their souls, that they might repent
And sheath the rebel's sword.

The faith that was once delivered
Has not been changed one whit;
Not one word of God's Holy Book's
Been modified — nay, not a bit!

So stand your ground, my brother,
For 'tis solid, firm and sure;
If God's Word is where you're standing,
Take heart! Stand firm! Endure!
