mf STAND up! stand up for Jesus,

Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,

It must not suffer loss.
f From victory unto victory
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.

mf [2 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The solemn watchword hear;
If while ye sleep He suffers,
Away with shame and fear!
Where'er you meet with evil-
Within you, or without-
cr Charge! for the God of Battles,
And put the foe to rout.]

mf 3 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;
f Your courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.

TALLIS.

mf 4 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own.
f Put on the Gospel armour,
Each piece put on with prayer!
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.

mf [5 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Each soldier to his post;
Close up the broken column,

And shout through all the host.
f Make good the loss so heavy,
In those that still remain ;
And prove to all around you
That death itself is gain.]

mf 6 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor's song.
f To him that overcometh

GOD of Truth, Whose living Word
Upholds whate'er hath breath,
Look down on Thy creation, Lord,
Enslaved by sin and death.

mf 2 Set up Thy standard, Lord, that we,
Who claim a heavenly birth,
May march with Thee to smite the lies
That vex Thy groaning earth.

mf 3 Ah! would we join that blest array,
And follow in the might

Of Him, the Faithful and the True,
In raiment clean and white!

mf 4 We fight for truth, we fight for God, Poor slaves of lies and sin!
