Stand up, stand up for Jesus

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
as soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss;
from victory on to victory
his army he shall lead
till every foe is vanquished
and Christ is Lord indeed.

2. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey
to join the mighty conflict
in this his glorious day!
You that are his, now serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger
and strength with strength oppose.

3. Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in his strength alone:
for human power will fail you,
you dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armour,
keep watch with constant prayer;
where duty calls, or danger,
be never failing 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 everyone who conquers
a crown of life shall be;
we with the King of glory
shall reign eternally.
