STAND UP! STAND UP! FOR JESUS! VERSE 1 Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Ye 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. VERSE 2 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 so strength oppose. VERSE 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 armour, And watching unto prayer, Where duty calls or danger, Be never wanting there. VERSE 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.

VERSE 2 In haste to Bethlehem that day The wise men took their star-led way, Their light to seek, where light doth shew, Gifts on the Giver to bestow. VERSE 3 Killed at the tyrant’s anxious call, For Christ a thousand victims fall; And mothers’ hearts the piteous tale Of murdered innocents bewail. VERSE 4 Lo, dipped in Jordan’s cleansing stream, The Lamb of God would whiter seem; Yet ’twas our sins, in foul array, He bore, and bearing washed away. VERSE 5 Marvels the Pharisees refute That would his heavenly birth dispute; The sick no more with fever burn, And at his voice the dead return. VERSE 6 New evidence of Wondrous power Behold in Cana’s marriage-dower; Swift its own nature to resign, The water blushes into wine.
