Stand up! stand up for Jesus
Author: Duffield Appears in 1,792 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 3:18 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 be led,
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;
Your 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,
And watching unto 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: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Stand Up for Jesus

"Sleepers, Wake!" A Voice Astounds Us
Author: Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608); Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 3:16-17 Lyrics: 1 “Sleepers, wake!” a voice astounds us;
the shout of rampart-guards surrounds us:
"Awake, Jerusalem, arise!"
Midnight’s peace their cry has broken,
their urgent summons clearly spoken:
"The time has come, O maidens wise!
Rise up, and give us light;
the Bridegroom is in sight.
Alleluia!
Your lamps prepare and hasten there,
that you the wedding feast may share."
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing.
Her heart with joyful hope is springing;
she wakes and hurries through the night.
Forth he comes, her bridegroom glorious
in strength of grace, in truth victorious:
her star is risen, her light grows bright.
Now come, most worthy Lord,
God's Son, Incarnate Word,
alleluia!
We follow all and heed your call
to come into the banquet hall.
3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore you;
let saints and angels sing before you,
as harps and cymbals swell the sound.
Twelve great pearls, the city's portals:
through them we stream to join the immmortals
as we with joy your throne surround.
No eye has known the sight,
no ear heard such delight:
alleluia!
Therefore we sing to greet our King;
forever let our praises ring. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

John R. Sweney
1837 - 1899 Person Name: Jno. R. Sweney Scripture: Ezekiel 1-48 Composer of "[Here in Thy Name we are gathered]" in New Songs of the Gospel No. 2 John R. Sweney (1837-1899) was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and exhibited musical abilities at an early age. At nineteen he was studying with a German music teacher, leading a choir and glee club, and performing at children’s entertainments. By twenty-two he was teaching at a school in Dover, Delaware. Soon thereafter, he was put in charge of the band of the Third Delaware Regiment of the Union Army for the duration of the Civil War. After the war, he became Professor of Music at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, and director of Sweney’s Cornet Band. He eventually earned Bachelor and Doctor of Music degrees at the Academy.
Sweney began composing church music in 1871 and became well-known as a leader of large congregations. His appreciators stated “Sweney knows how to make a congregation sing” and “He had great power in arousing multitudes.” He also became director of music for a large Sunday school at the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia of which John Wanamaker was superintendent (Wanamaker was the founder of the first major department store in Philadelphia). In addition to his prolific output of hymn melodies and other compositions, Sweney edited or co-edited about sixty song collections, many in collaboration with William J. Kirkpatrick. Sweney died on April 10, 1899, and his memorial was widely attended and included a eulogy by Wanamaker.
