Stand
Up, Stand Up for Jesus - George Duffield, 1818-1888
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.
Stand up, stand
up for Jesus, the trumpet call obey;
Forth to the
mighty conflict, in this His glorious day.
Ye that are brave
now serve Him against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise
with danger, and strength to strength oppose.
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.
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 those who
vanquish evil a crown of life shall be;
They with the
King of Glory shall reign eternally.
