Stand up for Je­sus, Chris­tian, stand!
Firm as a rock on ocean’s strand!
Beat back the waves of sin that roll,
Like rag­ing floods, around thy soul!

Refrain

Stand up for Je­sus, nob­ly stand!
Firm as a rock, on ocean’s strand,
Stand up, His right­eous cause de­fend;
Stand up for Je­sus, your best friend.

Stand up for Je­sus, Chris­tian, stand!
Sound forth His name o’er sea and land!
Spread ye His glo­ri­ous word abroad,
Till all the world shall own Him Lord!

Refrain

Stand up for Je­sus, Chris­tian, stand!
Lift high the cross with stead­fast hand!
Till heath­en lands with won­der­ing eye,
Its ris­ing glo­ry shall des­cry.

Refrain

Stand up for Je­sus, Chris­tian, stand!
Soon with the blest, im­mor­tal band,
We’ll dwell for aye, life’s jour­ney o’er,
In realms of light on Heav’n’s bright shore.

Refrain
