8. Let Us Stand for Jesus

1 Let us stand up for Jesus,
Let us stand in His might;
Let us gird on the armor
And be first in the fight;
Let us trust in His promise,
Let His strength make us strong,
And the dear name of Jesus
Be our watchword and song.

Refrain:
Let us stand, firmly stand,
With a heart true and brave;
Let us stand up for Jesus,
Who is mighty to save.

2 Let us stand up for Jesus,
Let us honor His laws,
Let us watch, and be faithful
To His kingdom and cause;
Let us tell the glad story
Of His mercy and love,
As we march ever onward
To the City above. [Refrain]

3 Let us stand up for Jesus
Till the conflict is past,
And at home with the ransomed
We are gathered at last;
Let us follow His banner
Till our trophies we bring
To the feet of our Saviour,
Our Redeemer and King. [Refrain]
