213. Soldiers of Christ, Arise!

1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Thro' His eternal Son;
Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in His mighty pow'r;
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.

2 Stand, then, in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:
That, having all things done
And all your conflicts pass'd,
Ye may o'ercome thro' Christ alone,
And stand complete at last.

3 Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul;
Take ev'ry virtue, ev'ry grace,
And fortify the whole:
In dissolubly joined,
To battle all proceed;
But arm yourselves with all the mind
That was in Christ, your Head.
