Verse 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.

Refrain

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

Verse 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; Your courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
