Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Ye
soldiers of the cross;
Lift
high His royal banner,
It
must not suffer loss.
From
victory unto victory
His
army shall He lead,
Till
every foe is vanquished,
And
Christ is Lord indeed.
2
Stand
up, stand up for Jesus,
The
trumpet call obey;
Forth
to the mighty conflict,
In
this His glorious day.
Ye
that are brave now serve Him
Against
unnumbered foes;
Let
courage rise with danger,
And
strength to strength oppose.
3
Stand
up, stand up for Jesus,
stand
in His strength alone;
The
arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye
dare not trust your own.
Put
on the gospel armor,
And
watching unto prayer;
Where
duty calls or danger,
Be
never wanting there.
4
Stand
up, stand up for Jesus,
The
strife will not be long;
This
day the noise of battle,
The
next the victor's song.
To
him that overcometh
A
crown of life shall be;
They
with the King of Glory
Shall
reign eternally.
