Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus

Author: George Duffield, 1818-1888 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,788 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, you soldiers of the cross, lift high his royal banner, it must not suffer loss; from victory unto victory 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. You that are brave, now serve him against unnumbered foes; let courage rise with danger, and strength to strrength oppose. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, stand in his strength alone; the arm of flesh will fail you-- you dare not trust your own; put on the gospel armor, each piece put on with 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 those who conquer evil a crown of life shall be; they with the King of glory shall reign eternally.

Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee. Topics: Conflict Spiritual; Fellowship Scripture: Matthew 5:5 Used With Tune: AURELIA
