1 Soldiers of the Captain!
Stand, for Him, and fight,
Hardness glad enduring,
Armour'd in His might!
He is that great Victor
Praise in Angels' songs,
Glory of each soldier
Who to Him belongs.

Refrain:
Soldiers of the Captain!
Stand, for Him, and fight,
Hardness glad enduring,
Armour'd in His might!

2 Leader never vanquished -
More than conquerors too,
Through Himself, He maketh
All His soldiers true;
O'er the foe, triumphant,
He must still prevail -
So, His soldiers faithful,
With Him cannot fail. [Refrain]

3 Take ye, then the Helmet,
Breastplate, Shield, and Sword -
Thus equipped, for battle
Ready at His word:
Fierce though be the warfare,
Sure is the renown -
And, though dark the conflict,
Bright the promised crown. [Refrain]

4 Jesus! Captain! help us
Soldiers good to be -
Living, dying, ever,
Fighting Lord, for Thee:
Eager to march forward,
In those ranks of Thine -
Waiting but the order
From Thy voice divine! [Refrain]

Amen.
