Author: George Duffield, 1818 - 88 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #551a (1958) Lyrics: 1 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 armor,
Each piece put on with 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. Topics: The Life In Christ Service; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Languages: English Tune Title: MILES ANIMOSUS
