The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#508

508. Soldiers of Christ, Arise

1 Soldiers of Christ, arise
And put your armor 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;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God.

4 From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.

5 Thus having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.

Amen.
