Stand up, Stand up for Jesus

"Stand up, Stand up for Jesus" is a rousing, classic hymn of Christian warfare and steadfast faith. The lyrics call on the congregation to be "soldiers of the cross," putting on the spiritual armor of God to face life's daily battles. It is a natural choice for Entrance and Recessional processions, where its marching tempo and triumphant message set a tone of courage and victory for the liturgy.

This particular arrangement features the familiar tune by George J. Webb, transcribed in solfa notation with a soaring descant added for the fourth verse. The descant lifts the final stanza—"This day the noise of battle, the next the victor's song"—into a bright, climactic finish for the sopranos. The transcriber has also included the foundational scripture from Ephesians 6 at the bottom of the page, reminding the choir of the biblical call to "put on the whole armour of God" that inspired these enduring words.
