Rise, O Church, like Christ arisen
Rise! To Arms! With Prayer Employ You
Author: Wilhelm E. Arends, 1677-1721; John M. Sloan, 1835-after 1890 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:27-28 Lyrics: 1 Rise! To arms! With prayer employ you,
O Christians, lest the foe destroy you,
for Satan has designed your fall.
Wield God's Word, a weapon glorious;
against each foe you'll be victorious,
for God will set you o'er them all.
Fear not the prince of hell,
here is Immanuel! Sing hosanna!
The strong ones yield to Christ, our shield,
and we as conqu'rors hold the field.
2 Cast afar this world's vain pleasure
and boldly strive for heav'nly treasure.
Be steadfast in the Savior's might.
Trust the Lord, who stands beside you,
for Jesus from all harm will hide you.
By faith you'll conquer in the fight.
Take courage, weary soul!
Look forward to the goal! Joy waits you.
The race, then, run; your battle done,
the crown of glory will be won.
3 Jesus, all your children cherish,
and keep them that they never perish
whom you have purchased with your blood.
Let new life to us be given
that we may look to you in heaven
whenever fearful is our mood.
Your Spirit on us pour
that we may love you more, hearts o'erflowing;
and then shall we, from sin set free,
sing praise through all eternity. Topics: Church Militant Used With Tune: WACHET AUF
