188. We’ll All Stand Up for Jesus

1 We’ll all stand up for Jesus,
The Captain of our band,
Who leads His little army
Safe to the promised land;
Tho’ perils may encompass,
Tho’ storms may lower above,
We’ll all stand up for Jesus,
Who shields us with His love.

Refrain:
Then we’ll all stand up for Jesus, Jesus,
The Captain of our band.

2 The foe is round about us,
They press on every side;
They war and fight against us,
With envy, hate and pride;
But Jesus leads the battle,
And so we cannot fail,
Tho’ foemen without number
Our lesser ranks assail. [Refrain]

3 We’ll all stand up for Jesus,
The loving and the brave,
Who died a death of anguish
Our wand’ring souls to save;
And now He lives to bless us,
To lead our little band,
Thro’ all the storms and dangers,
Into the promised land. [Refrain]
