1. Soldiers of th’ eternal King,
Speed the watchword, give it wing,
Let it thro’ the churches ring.
Up! for Jesus stand.
Write it on the temple’s spire,
Utter it with tongues of fire,
Sire to son and son to sire,
Up! for Jesus stand,
Sire to son and son to sire,
Up! for Jesus, Jesus stand,
Chorus. Up! for Jesus stand, (Jesus stand,)
Up! for Jesus stand; (Jesus stand;)
Speed the watchword, give it wing,
And up! for Jesus stand.
2. Label it on ev’ry door,
Place it high the pulpit o’er,
Let it stand forevermore!
Up! for Jesus stand.
Blazon it in mansion halls,
Pencil it on prison walls,
Do and dare as duty calls;
Up! for Jesus stand,
Do and dare as duty calls;
Up! for Jesus, Jesus stand.
3. Place it on the chiseled stone,
Where the mourners weep alone;
Grave it on the monarch’s throne!
Up! for Jesus stand.
Let the press, whose wheels of might
Roll for reason and for right,
Flash in on the nation’s sight;
Up! for Jesus stand,
Flash in on the nation’s sight;
Up! for Jesus, Jesus stand.
