Christ in Song ‎#752

752. Soldiers of Christ, Arise!

1. Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on;
Fight, for the battle will be ours;
We fight to win a crown.

2. We fight not against flesh,
We wrestle not with blood;
But principalities and pow'rs,
And for the truth of God;

3. With wicked spirits, too,
That in high places stand,
Perverting oft the word of God,
And say 'tis by command.
