Stand up stand up for Jesus Hymn YORUBA Duro duro fun Jesu YORUBA Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God. Eph. 6:13

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,
    Till every foe is vanquished
    And Christ is Lord indeed.

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.

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 Christian's armour,
    And watching unto prayer,
    Where duty calls, or danger,
    Be never wanting there.

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.

Amen.
