Stand up! stand up for Jesus
Author: Duffield Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #656 (1873) Scripture: Acts 5:29 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

No tears to wipe, no joys to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save!

On whom my hopes of heaven depend!

That I no more revere his name. Topics: The Christian Life Consecration and Activity; Not Ashamed of Jesus

'Tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord,

from the lips of sinners unto whom he came.
Faithfully he bore it, spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious when from death he passed.
3 In your hearts enthrone him, there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not true.
Crown him as your sovereign in temptation's hour,
let his will enfold you in its mighty power.

with the Father's glory, when he comes to reign.
For all earthly powers soon to him must bow,
so let us confess him King of glory now. Topics: Adoration Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S WESTON

Before the evil come;
