Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus

1 Stand 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 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,  
Each piece put on with 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 who overcometh  
A crown of life shall be;  
He, with the King of Glory,  
Shall reign eternally.
