[1]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss:
from vict'ry unto vict'ry
his army shall he lead
'til ev'ry foe is vanquished
and Christ is Lord indeed.

[chorus]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus!
Ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high his royal banner,
it must not, it must not suffer loss.

[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 to strength oppose.

[chorus]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus!
Ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high his royal banner,
it must not, it must not suffer loss.

[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.

[chorus]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus!
Ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high his royal banner,
it must not, it must not suffer loss.

[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.

[chorus]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus!
Ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high his royal banner,
it must not, it must not suffer loss.
