Soldiers of Christ, Arise

Soldiers of Christ, arise

And put your armor on,

Strong in the strength which God supplies

Thro' his eternal Son;

Strong in the Lord of Hosts

And in His mighty pow'r:

Who in the strength of Jesus trusts

Is more than conqueror.

Stand then in His great might,

With all His strength endued;

But take, to arm you for the fight,

The panoply of God:

That having all things done,

And all your conflicts past,

Ye may o'ercome thro' Christ alone

And stand entire at last.

From strength to strength go on;

Wrestle and fight and pray:

Tread all the powers of darkness down

And win the well-fought day.

Still let the Spirit cry

In all his soldiers, Come,

Till Christ the Lord descends from high

And takes the conqueror home.

Amen.
