Stand Up Stand Up for Jesus
Backgrounder: In 1858, churches
throughout Philadelphia united
in a citywide evangelistic effort.
Dudley Tyng, a 29 year old
preacher spoke to 5,000 men
& 1,000 responded to the gospel.
Four days later, however Tyng
was fatally injured in an accident.
As he lay dying, Tyng was still
thinking about the men who had
made decisions for Christ & said:
Tell them to stand up for Jesus.
Presbyterian minister George
Duffield preached next Sunday
on the text: “Stand Therefore”
and in conclusion read a poem
entitled Stand Up for Jesus. A
church member sent the poem to
a newspaper and was published.
Lord, we will Stand Strong in You:
A final word: Be strong in the
Lord and in his mighty power.
Put on all of God’s armour
so that you will be able to
stand firm against all strategies
of the devil (Eph 6:10-11).
Lord, help us to Stand strong in
You and in your mighty power.
Because we have already aligned
ourselves with You by accepting
You as Lord and Savior, the
enemy will wage war against us.
Help us put on the full armor
of God so that we can take our
stand against the devil’s schemes
Teach us to fully understand the
depth of truth, righteousness,
faith, a solid walk with Christ,
salvation, prayer and Your Word.
And grant us your grace to put
on the full armour and to use
them effectively for without
You we can do nothing.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift up His royal banner,
It must not suffer loss:
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict
In this His glorious day:
Ye that are men, now serve Him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage ride with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
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 armour;
Each piece put on with prayer.
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.
