1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus
as 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;
then join the mighty conflict
in this, his glorious day.
Be strong in faith and serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and all God's foes oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
you dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armor,
each piece put on with prayer;
where duty calls, or danger,
be never failing there.
4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the fight will not be long
this day the noise of battle,
the next the victor's song.
To every one who conquers,
a crown of life shall be;
we with the King of glory
shall reign eternally.
