<poem>
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 Saviour's gone.
 
Hell 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.
 
Then let my soul march boldly on,
Press forward to the heav'nly gate;
There peace and joy eternal reign,
And glitt'ring robes for conqu'rors 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,
</poem>
