Here’s a dramatic, military sounding hymn. The music was written by Adam Geibel who was born 15 Sep 2009, 1855. More at http://bit.ly/jwZve

Lyrics: George Duffield
Music: Adam Geibel

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 ev’ry foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed

Refrain:
Stand up for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross
Lift high His royal banner
It must not, it must not suffer loss

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,
You dare not trust your own
Put on the gospel armor,
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
