Author: George Duffield Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #455 (1974) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Lyrics: 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.
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;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
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.
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. Topics: Conflict; Faithfulness Of God; Warfare, Christian Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:13 Languages: English Tune Title: GEIBEL
