Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Hymns Ancient & Modern

542 "Qui* Vou We men , be strong."
Stand up '.— stand up for Jesus I
Ye soldiers of the Cross ;
Lift high His royal banner,

It must not sutler loss.
GENERAL HYMNS.
From victory unto victory
Kis array He shall lead.

Till every foe is vanquish'd,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up I— stand up for Jesus !
The solemn watchword hear ;

If while ye sleep He suffeis,
o- Away with shame and fear ;
Where'er ye meet with evil,
Within vou or without,

Charge for the God of battles,
And put the foe to rout.
Stand up I— 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 unnumber'd 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 ;'

When duty calls or danger *
Be never wanting there !
Stand up !— stand up for Jesus !
The strife will not he 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.

Amen.
