 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.
