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 gospel armor, Each piece put on with prayer; Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, A crown of life shall be; George Duffield, 1858 3 Christian, dost thou hear them, 4 "Well I know thy trouble, But that toil shall make thee Shall be near My throne." Greek, vii C.. tr. John M. Neale, 1862, v. 1, lines 3 and 4; v. 2, lines 7 and 8 alt. 1 "CHRISTIAN, seek not yet repose,' Hear thy guardian angel say, "Thou art in the midst of foes: 2 Principalities and powers, Mustering their unseen array, 3 Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever, night and day; 4 Hear the victors who o'ercame; Still they mark each warrior's way; 5 Hear, above all, hear thy Lord, 6 Watch, as if on that alone Hung the issue of the day; Pray that help may be sent down: Watch and pray!
