Verse 1 Rise up, saints, and take your stand Put on the armor of God Be strong not in your strength alone But in the Son of God Stand in the Lord of hosts Stand in His mighty name The one who leans on Jesus Christ Will never fight in vain Hook Stand in the Lord Stand in His power He will keep you hour by hour Stand in the Lord Do not give way He will lead you through the day Verse 2 Take up the shield of faith Take up the sword and pray Press on from strength to greater strength And do not lose the way Crush every work of night Let every lie be gone The one who stands in Christ Will see the morning come Hook Stand in the Lord Stand in His power He will keep you hour by hour Stand in the Lord Do not give way He will lead you through the day Verse 3 Guard every wounded place Every weakness of the soul Let every grace God gives Be strengthened, full, and whole And when the war is past And when the race is run You’ll stand complete through Christ alone The faithful, conquering Son Hook Stand in the Lord Stand in His power He will keep you hour by hour Stand in the Lord Do not give way He will lead you through the day Bridge Armor on Hearts awake Christ will help us stand and stay Armor on Eyes above Held in power, held in love Armor on Shield and sword Stand in the word of the Lord Armor on Watch and pray Christ will lead us through the fray Hook Stand in the Lord Stand in His power He will keep you hour by hour Stand in the Lord Do not give way He will lead you through the day
