36. Stand Up, 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 vict'ry unto vict'ry
His army shall he lead,
Till ev'ry foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.

Chorus:
Stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high his royal banner,
It must not, it must not suffer loss.

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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
