This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Lo, the conflict of the ages

       Is upon us today,

    And the forces of rebellion

       Are in total array.

    The humanity of Jesus

       Now the saints must possess,

    His true image and dominion

       On the earth to express.

 

Let us stand up in Jesus

   In His full human life,

Human virtues prevailing

   'Gainst corruption so rife;

In this wickedness concerted,

In this age perverse, perverted,

The humanity of Jesus

   Must the church now display.

 

 2  Lo, how Satan came to damage

       Human life on the earth;

    But the Lord in all this ruin

       Raised a man full of worth!

    From the seed of the woman

       God incarnated became

    The man Jesus — the last Adam —

       To destroy Satan's aim!

 

Let us stand up in Jesus

   In His full human life,

Human virtues prevailing

   'Gainst corruption so rife;

In this wickedness concerted,

In this age perverse, perverted,

The humanity of Jesus

   Must the church now display.

 

 3  It's by calling, drinking, eating

       The man Jesus today,

    His humanity enjoying

       Bruises Satan each day.

    To the Lord we must be turning,

       All our soul life deny,

    To destroy all Satan's working

       And the new man supply.

 

Let us stand up in Jesus

   In His full human life,

Human virtues prevailing

   'Gainst corruption so rife;

In this wickedness concerted,

In this age perverse, perverted,

The humanity of Jesus

   Must the church now display.

 

 4  See the ruin of a nation

       Going downward in sin;

    All humanity is fallen

       And corrupted within.

    But as children of the kingdom

       We are salting the earth;

    His humanity preserves us

       In the midst of such dearth.

 

Let us stand up in Jesus

   In His full human life,

Human virtues prevailing

   'Gainst corruption so rife;

In this wickedness concerted,

In this age perverse, perverted,

The humanity of Jesus

   Must the church now display.
