Stand Up for Christ

Representative Text

1 Go forward to battle, ye soldiers of God,
Go, singing the praises of Zion abroad,
Remember, the cause of your King is unpriced,
Go forward to battle and stand up for Christ!

Refrain:
Stand up for Christ in pow’r and might,
And gird you for the Christian fight;
Uphold his Word, obey his laws,
Stand up for Christ, maintain his cause.

2 Be earnest, be true to yourself and mankind,
Of daily temptations your share you will find;
But strength shall be given to battle with sin,
Your Captain will help you the vict’ry to win. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ daily life’s conflict your spirit may try,
Go manfully forward, to fail is to die;
Go, girded with valor, and courage, and strength,
Your Captain’s approval will crown you at length. [Refrain]
