Hymn 611
STAND up! stand up for Jesus!
7 6. 7 6. D Version for burial and memorial services. Another selection of verses appears as No. 487
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.
Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Each soldier to his post; Close up the broken column, Encourage all the host. Make good the loss so heavy In those who still remain; And prove to all around you That death itself is gain.
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.
George Duffield, 1818-88
