SOLDIERS of Christ, arise, And put your armour on, Strong in the strength which God supplies Through His eternal Son. |
|||
2 | Strong in the Lord of hosts, And in His mighty power; Who in the strength of Jesus trusts Is more than conqueror. |
||
3 | Stand then in His great might, With all His strength endued; And take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God. |
||
4 | To keep your armour bright, Attend with constant care; Still walking in your Captain’s sight, And watching unto prayer. |
||
5 | From strength to strength go on; Wrestle, and fight, and pray; Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well-fought day. |
||
6 | Then, having all things done, And every conflict passed, Ye may o’ercome through Christ alone, And stand complete at last. |

Charles Wesley, 1707-88 |
