LyicsSTAND 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 Chris is Lord indeed.
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.
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.
