Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus

Verse 1
Stand up, stand up for Je­sus,
Ye sol­diers of the cross; (II Tim. 2:3)
Lift high His roy­al ban­ner, (Ps. 20:5, Ps. 60:4, Isa. 11:10-12, Isa. 59:19)
It must not suf­fer loss.
From vic­to­ry un­to vic­to­ry (II Cor. 2:14)
His ar­my shall He lead,
Till ev­ery foe is van­quished, (I Cor. 15:25, Rev. 17:14)
And Christ is Lord in­deed. (Phil. 2:9-11)

Verse 2
Stand up, stand up for Je­sus,
The so­lemn watch­word hear;
If while ye sleep He suf­fers, (Matt. 26:40-41, Mark 14:37-38)
Away with shame and fear;
Where’er ye meet with ev­il,
Within you or with­out, (Rom. 7:23, II Cor. 7:5)
Charge for the God of bat­tles, (Ex. 15:3)
And put the foe to rout. (James 4:7, I Pet. 5:8-9)

Verse 3
Stand up, stand up for Je­sus,
The trum­pet call ob­ey; (I Cor. 14:8)
Forth to the migh­ty con­flict,
In this His glo­ri­ous day.
Ye that are brave now serve Him
Against un­num­bered foes;
Let cour­age rise with dan­ger, (I Cor. 16:13)
And strength to strength op­pose.

Verse 4
Stand up, stand up for Je­sus,
Stand in His strength alone; (Eph. 6:10)
The arm of flesh will fail you, (II Chron. 32:8, Jer. 17:5)
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gos­pel ar­mor, (Eph. 6:10-17)
Each piece put on with pray­er;
Where du­ty calls or dan­ger,
Be nev­er want­ing there.

Verse 5
Stand up, stand up for Je­sus,
Each sol­dier to his post,
Close up the brok­en col­umn,
And shout through all the host:
Make good the loss so hea­vy,
In those that still re­main,
And prove to all around you
That death it­self is gain. (Phil. 1:21)

Verse 6
Stand up, stand up for Je­sus,
The strife will not be long; (Rom. 8:18, II Cor. 4:17-18)
This day the noise of bat­tle,
The next the vic­tor’s song. (Rev. 15:2-3)
To him who ov­er­com­eth
A crown of life shall be; (James 1:12, Rev. 2:10)
They with the King of Glo­ry (Ps. 24:7-10)
Shall reign eter­nal­ly. (Rev. 22:5, II Tim. 2:12, Rev. 20:6)
