Words

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.

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.

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.

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 GloryShall reign eternally.

BY LOWELL MASON.» at the right (capitals and small capitals). Stanza 1 is interlinear, between the staves: «1.» and a brace open two lines over the repeated first part of the tune — «Stand up! stand up for Je-sus! Ye soldiers of the cross;» (first time) over «Lift high his roy-al ban-ner, It must not suf-fer loss:» (second time), closed by a second brace — then «From vic-t'ry un-to vict'ry,» level with the second line, and on system 2 «His arm-y shall he lead, Till ev - ery foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord in - deed.» (sung once).
