LyicsSTAND 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 vanquish'd,
And Christ 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 unnumber'd 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 pray'r,
Were duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.
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!
