Text Based On Acts Chapter 26
But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I
have appeared unto thee for this purpose,
to make thee a minister and a witness both
of these things which thou hast seen,
Stand Up, My Soul
Stand up, my soul, shake off thy fears,
And gird the Gospel armour on,
March to the gates of endless joy,
Where thy great Captain-Savior's gone.
What though the prince of darkness rage,
And waste the fury of his spite,
Eternal chains confine him down
To fiery deeps and endless night.
What though thine inward lusts rebel,
’Tis but a struggling gasp for life;
The weapons of victorious grace
Shall slay thy sins, and end the strife.
Then let my soul march boldly on,
Press forward to the Kingdom's gate;
There peace and joy eternal reign,
And glittering robes for conquerors wait.
There 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.
