Author: Julia H. Johnston Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8105 Meter: 9.8.9.8 D First Line: Come, put on the armor of Jesus Refrain First Line: Lift high the victorious banner Lyrics: 1 Come, put on the armor of Jesus,
Make ready to battle with sin,
And conquer the foes that beset us,
The foes, both without and within.
Refrain:
Lift high the victorious banner,
The truth that for ages has stood;
Be firm in the midst of temptation,
And overcome evil with good.
2 The banner of truth we must follow,
Nor linger, in doubt and in fear;
For Jesus is strong to deliver,
Fear not, for the Captain is near. [Refrain]
3 Right onward, forevermore onward,
We march in the strength of the King;
For God and the good of our neighbor,
Our lives as an offering we bring. [Refrain]
4 Whatever the sin that opposes,
The order must be understood;
Be not overcome by the evil,
But overcome evil with good. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: DOWNEY
