The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#248

248. Soldiers of Christ, Arise

1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on;
Strong in the strength which God supplies,
Through His eternal Son.
Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in His mighty power;
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.

2 Stand, then, in His great might,
With all His strength endued,
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God,
That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past;
Ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone,
And stand complete at last.

3 Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul,
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole.
From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.

Amen.
