1 Luchad, luchad por Cristo,
Soldados de la cruz;
Alzad triunfal bandera,
Enhiesta por Jesús.
De triunfo en triunfo siempre
Sed guardas de su honor,
Y haced que el enemigo
Se humille ante el Señor.

2 Luchad, luchad por Cristo;
En su poder confiad;
Que vuestro brazo es débil
Y desfallecerá.
Vestíos la armadura,
Velando en oración,
Y do el peligro os llame
No os falte, no, el valor.

3 Luchad, luchad por Cristo,
La lid comienza ya;
Al ruido del combate
El triunfo seguirá.
Corona el esforzado
De vida y luz tendrá,
Y con el rey de gloria
Por siempre reinará.
