LyicsSoldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on!
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through his beloved Son.
Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in his mighty power;
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.
Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul;
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole;
That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
You may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.
