9084. Stand Up for Jesus, Christian

1 Stand up for Jesus, Christian, stand!
Firm as a rock on ocean’s strand!
Beat back the waves of sin that roll,
Like raging floods, around thy soul!

Refrain:
Stand up for Jesus, nobly stand!
Firm as a rock, on ocean’s strand,
Stand up, His righteous cause defend;
Stand up for Jesus, your best friend.

2 Stand up for Jesus, Christian, stand!
Sound forth His name o’er sea and land!
Spread ye His glorious word abroad,
Till all the world shall own Him Lord! [Refrain]

3 Stand up for Jesus, Christian, stand!
Lift high the cross with steadfast hand!
Till heathen lands with wondering eye,
Its rising glory shall descry. [Refrain]

4 Stand up for Jesus, Christian, stand!
Soon with the blest, immortal band,
We’ll dwell for aye, life’s journey o’er,
In realms of light on Heav’n’s bright shore. [Refrain]
