Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1051 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of the cross, arise;
Gird you with your armor bright;
Mighty are your enemies,
Hard the battle you must fight;
2 O'er a faithless, fallen world
Raise your banner in the sky,
Let it float there, wide unfurled,
Bear it onward, lift it high.
3 'Mid the homes of want and woe,
Strangers to the living word,
Let the Saviour's herald go,
Let the voice of hope be heard.
4 Guard the helpless, seek the strayed,
Comfort troubles, banish grief;
With the Spirit's sword, arrayed,
Scatter sin and unbelief:
5 Be the banner still unfurled,
Bear it bravely still abroad,
Till the kingdoms of the world
Are the kingdoms of the Lord. Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Tune Title: MONKLAND
