Hymn 724

Stand up, stand up for Jesus!

Meter: 7.6.7.6.D

Scripture: Eph. 6:13

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.

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 Christian's armour,

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.
