STAND LIKE THE BRAVE

1Stand up, stand up for Je-sus, A sol-dier of the cross;
Lift high his roy-al ban-ner, It must not suf-fer loss;
From vic-t'ry un-to vic-t'ry His ar-my shall he lead,
Till ev-'ry foe is van-quished, And Christ is Lord in-deed.

RefrainStand like the brave, stand like the brave,
Stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe.

2Stand up, stand up for Je-sus, The trum-pet call o-bey;
Forth to the might-y con-flict, In this his glo-rious day;
Ye that are men now serve him A-gainst un-num-bered foes;
Let cour-age rise with dan-ger, And strength to strength op-pose.

3Stand up, stand up for Je-sus, Stand in his strength a-lone;
The arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own;
Put on the gos-pel ar-mor, Each piece put on with prayer;
Where du-ty calls, or dan-ger, Be nev-er want-ing there.

4Stand up, stand up for Je-sus, The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of bat-tle, The next the vic-tor's song;
To him that o-ver-com-eth A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glo-ry Shall reign e-ter-nal-ly.
