The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#695

695. 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.

Refrain:
Praise ye the Lord, hallelujah!

2 Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in his mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.

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

4 To keep your armour bright
Attend with constant care,
Still walking in your captain’s sight
And watching unto prayer.

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

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