Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus

Verse 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.

Verse 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the solemn watchword hear;
If while ye sleep He suffers,
away with shame and fear;
Where’er ye meet with evil,
within you or without,
Charge for the God of battles,
and put the foe to rout.

Verse 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
in this His glorious day.
Ye that are brave now serve Him
against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strength oppose.

Verse 4 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.

Verse 5 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
each soldier to his post,
Close up the broken column,
and shout through all the host:
Make good the loss so heavy,
in those that still remain,
And prove to all around you
that death itself is gain.

Verse 6 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 who overcometh
a crown of life shall be;
They with the King of Glory
shall reign eternally.
