28. Stand Up For Jesus

1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high his royal banner,
It must not suffer loss.
From vict'ry unto vict'ry
His army shall be led
'Till ev'ry foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed.

Chorus:
For Jesus stand firm,
For Jesus stand firm,
For Jesus stand firm,
For Jesus stand firm.

2 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,
And watching unto pray'r,
Where duty calls or danger,
Be never wanting there. [Chorus]

3 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. [Chorus]
