Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus
Stand up, stand up for Jesus
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, 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 him that overcometh a crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory shall reign eternally.
