146. 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 victory unto victory 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 that overcometh a crown of life shall be;
 
He with the Lord of glory shall reign eternally.
