LyicsStand up my soul, shake off thy fears;
And gird the gospel armor on;
March to the gates of endless joy,
Where thy great Captain Saviour's gone.
Hell and thy sins resist thy course;
But hell and sin are vanquished foes;
Thy Jesus nailed them to the cross,
And sung the triumph when he rose.
What tho' the prince of darkness rage,
And waste the fury of his spite;
Eternal chains confine him down
To fiery deeps and endless night.
What tho' thine inward lusts rebel,
'Tis but a struggling gasp for life;
The weapons of victorious grace
Shall slay thy sins and end the strife.
Then let my soul march boldly on,
Press forward to he heavenly gate,
There peace and joy eternal reign,
And glittering robes for conquerors wait.
There may I wear a starry crown,
And triumph in almighty grace;
While all the armies of the skies,
Join in my glorious leader's praise.
