Soldiers of Christ, Arise

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 893 hymnals Topics: Soldiers of Christ 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 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Stand up for Jesus! Stand in His strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you; Ye dare not trust your own: Put on the gospel armour, And, watching unto prayer, Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there. 4 Stand up!

Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified: Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These, like priests, have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will. Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve Him still. Now in God's most holy place Blest they stand before His face. Amen. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS (OLD)
