George Duffield, 1858

Verse 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.

 

Verse 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.

 

Verse 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 pray’r;
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.

 

Verse 4
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle, T
he next the victor’s song:
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternal.
