|
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, |
|
each piece put on with 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 those who vanquish evil |
|
a crown of life shall be; |
|
they with the King of Glory |
|
shall reign eternally. |
