Author: George Duffield, Jr. Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #613 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: Chalice Hymnal Lyrics: 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 brave 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 gospel armor,
and, watching unto pray'r,
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 overcometh,
a crown of life shall be;
they with the King of Glory
shall reign eternally. Topics: Life of Discipleship Loyalty and Courage; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Loyalty and Courage; Adversity; Courage Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB
