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. 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!
