Stand Up for Jesus
4/4

      G                C
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
   G               D
Ye soldiers of the cross,
     G              C          G        D7     G
Lift high His royal banner, it must not suffer loss.
     C            G           C             D7        
From victory unto victory His army shall He lead,
     G            C
Till every foe is vanquished
    G         D7      G
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 armour,
Each piece put on with 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 glory
Shall reign eternally.
