1.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
You 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 solemn watch-word hear;
If while you sleep He suffers,
Away with shame and fear;
Where’er you meet with evil,
Within you or without,
Charge for the God of freedom,
And put the foe to rout.
3.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this his glorious day.
You that are brave now serve him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
4.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in his strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
You 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.
5.
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 is victorious,
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternally.
Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus Lyrics
