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 shall He lead, Till every foe is vanquished And Christ is Lord indeed. (Chorus:) Stand up for Jesus Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His royal banner, It must not, it must not suffer loss. 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, And, watching unto prayer, Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there. (Chorus:) Stand up for Jesus Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His royal banner, It must not, it must not suffer loss. 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.
