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 men 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 armour, 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 ; He with the King of glory Shall reign eternally.
