Hymn Text
Verse 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 he shall lead
Till evr'y foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Verse 2
Stand up, stand up for Jesus
The solemn watch-word hear:
If while thou sleep he suffers,
Away with shame and fear,
Where'er thou meet with evil,
Within thee or without,
Charge for the Good of freedom,
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 men 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 Christian's armour,
And watching unto pray'r
Where duty calls or danger,
Be never wanting there!
Verse 5
Stand up, stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long.
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victors song.
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternally.
