Stand Up for Jesus
Religious Music · Other Songs - Religious Music
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.
VERSE #2
Stand up, stand up, for Jesus,
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this His glorious day:
Ye who are men, now serve Him,
Against unnumbered foes;
Let 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 belong;
This day the noise of battle,
The next, the victor's song:
To him who over-cometh,
A crown of life shall be;
He, with the King of glory,
Shall reign eternally...
