- 1Stand up, my soul, shake off thy fears,
- And gird the Gospel armor on;
- March to the gates of endless joy,
- Where Jesus, thy great Captain's gone.
- 2Hell and thy sins resist thy course,
- But hell and sin are vanquished foes;
- Thy Jesus nailed them to the Cross,
- And sung the triumph when He rose.
- 3Then let my soul march boldly on,
- Press forward to the heavenly gate;
- There peace and joy eternal reign,
- And glittering robes for conquerors wait.
- 4There shall I wear a starry crown,
- And triumph in almighty grace;
- While all the armies of the skies
- Join in my glorious Leader's praise.
