1 Soldiers of Christ, arise 
and put your armor on, 
strong in the strength that 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 weapons of our God;  
from strength to strength go on, 
wrestle and fight and pray; 
tread all the powers of darkness down 
and win the well-fought day.

3 Leave no unguarded place,
no weakness of the soul;
take every virtue, every grace,
and fortify the whole; 
till, having all things done, 
and all your conflicts past, 
you overcome through Christ alone 
and stand complete at last.
