1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on;
Strong in the strength which God supplies,
Through His eternal Son.
And put your armor on;
Strong in the strength which God supplies,
Through His eternal Son.
2 Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in His mighty power;
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
And in His mighty power;
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
3 Stand then in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:
With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:
4 That having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.
5 From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the pow'rs of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the pow'rs of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
