Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on;
Strong in the strength which God supplies,
Through His eternal Son.

Harmonious to the ear!

And all the earth shall hear.

Notes

Although this tune is widely attributed to Isaac Smith and was published in Smiths Collection of Psalm Tunes, London, ca. 1780, Smith does not claim to be the composer. The tune also appeared in other books of similar or earlier date. Southern Harmony, 1835 attributes the tune to J. Street.

- From The Hymnal 1982 companion: Hymns 384-720, 1984 by Raymond F. Glover
