Author: George Duffield Hymnal: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls #175 (1936) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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.
