Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus

Author: George Duffield, Jr., 1818-88 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 1,803 hymnals Topics: Mission and Witness Lyrics: 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 He shall lead Till ev'ry foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus; The trumpet call obey; Stand forth in the mighty conflict In this His glorious day. Let all His faithful 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 din of battle, The next the victor's song. The soldiers, overcoming, Their crown of life shall see And with the King of Glory Shall reign eternally. Scripture: Luke 9:23-26 Used With Tune: WEBB

I am the refuge of the soul And lead you to your heav'nly goal." 5 Then let us follow Christ, our Lord, And take the cross appointed And, firmly clinging to His Word, In suff'ring be undaunted.
