155. Stand up! stand up for Jesus! ye soldiers
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 armour, and watching unto 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 King of Glory, shall reign eternally.
