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 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.
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.
