1 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 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;
He with the King of Glory,
Shall reign eternally!
Amen.
