| 1. Stand up, stand up for Jesus! |
| ye soldiers of the cross;
|
| Lift high His royal banner, it must not suffer loss:
|
| From vict’ry unto vict’ry, 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 armor, and watching unto prayer,
|
| Where calls the voice of duty, 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. |
