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 con-quer-or.
Stand, then, in his great might,
With all his strength endued;
But take, to arm, you for the flight,
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.
