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 panoply of God.
that having all things done,
and all your conflicts passed,
ye may o'ercome thru Christ alone
and stand entire at last.
3 Pray without ceasing, pray,
(your Captain gives the word)
his summons cheerfully obey
and call upon the Lord;
to God your every want
in instant prayer display,
pray always, pray and never faint,
pray, without ceasing pray.
4 From strength to strength go on,
to wrestle, fight, and pray;
tread all the powers of darkness down
and win the well-fought day,
Still let the Spirit cry
in all his soldiers, ""Come!""
till Christ the Lord descends from high
and takes the conquerors home.
