Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnbook #362 (1955) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Armed Services; Christ Strength and Refuge; Courage; Soldiers of Christ; Trial and Conflict; Life in Christ Trial and Conflict Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through His eternal Son.
Strong in the Lord of Hosts,
And in His mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
2 Stand, then, in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:
That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts passed,
Ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone,
And stand complete at last.
3 Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul;
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole.
From strength to strength go on;
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 6:11-17 Tune Title: DIADEMATA
Soldiers of Christ, Arise
