449. Soldiers of Christ, arise

1 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 Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul:
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole.

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