Lift high his royal banner, it must not suffer loss. From victory on to victory his army he shall lead till evil is defeated, and Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus! The trumpet call obey; then join the mighty conflict in this his glorious day. Be strong in faith and 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 power alone, for human might will fail you -- you dare not trust your own. Put on the gospel armour, keep watch with constant prayer; when duty calls or danger, be never failing there. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus! The fight will not be long: this day the noise of battle, the next the victor's song. To everyone who conquers, a crown of life shall be; we, with the king of glory, shall reign eternally.

One there is above all others

Author: Newton Meter: Irregular Appears in 693 hymnals Scripture: Mark 3:33-35 Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend: His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end: They who his affections prove, Find his heart abounds with love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But our Jesus died to have us Reconciled in him to God: This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a friend in need. 3 When he loved on earth abased, Friend of sinners was his name; Now, above all glory raised, He rejoices in the same; Still he calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 Oh for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, thy name to love; We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But if there our souls are brought, We will love thee as we ought.
