<p>Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armor on,<br>
|
|
Strong in the strength which God supplies through His eternal Son<br>
|
|
Strong in the Lord of hosts, and in His mighty power,<br>
|
|
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts is more than conqueror.</p>
|
|
<p>Stand then in His great might, with all His strength endued,<br>
|
|
But take to arm you for the fight the panoply of God;<br>
|
|
That having all things done, and all your conflicts passed,<br>
|
|
Ye may overcome through Christ alone and stand entire at last.</p>
|
|
<p>Stand then against your foes, in close and firm array;<br>
|
|
Legions of wily fiends oppose throughout the evil day;<br>
|
|
But meet the sons of night, and mock their vain design,<br>
|
|
Armed in the arms of heavenly light, of righteousness divine.</p>
|
|
<p>Leave no unguarded place, no weakness of the soul,<br>
|
|
Take every virtue, every grace, and fortify the whole;<br>
|
|
Indissolubly joined, to battle all proceed;<br>
|
|
But arm yourselves with all the mind that was in Christ, your Head.</p>
|
|
<p>Pray without ceasing, pray, (your Captain gives the word)<br>
|
|
His summons cheerfully obey and call upon the Lord;<br>
|
|
To God your every want in instant prayer display,<br>
|
|
Pray always, pray and never faint, pray, without ceasing, pray.</p>
|
|
<p>From strength to strength go on, wrestle and fight and pray,<br>
|
|
Tread all the powers of darkness down and win the well fought day.<br>
|
|
Still let the Spirit cry in all His soldiers, “Come!”<br>
|
|
Till Christ the Lord descends from high and takes the conquerors home.</p>
