"STAND UP FOR JESUS."

By Geo. Duffield, Jr.

BY GEO. DUFFIELD, JR.
"Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness." St. Paul to the Ephesians
"Tell them to stand up for Jesus!" Dying words of Dudley A. Tyng.
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 be lead; Till every foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed!
Stand up! stand up for Jesus! The solemn watchword hear; If while ye sleep, he suffers Away with shame and fear! Where'er ye meet with evil, Within you or without; Charge for the God of battle, And put the foe to rout.
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; Your 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 armor, Each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there.
Stand up! stand up for Jesus! Each soldier to his post! Close up the broken column, And shout through all the host! Make good the loss so heavy, In those that still remain, And prove to all around you, That death itself is gain!
