1  Soldiers of Christ, arise,
and put your armor on,
strong in the strength which God supplies
through his eternal Son;

2  Strong in the Lord of hosts,
and in his mighty power:
who in the strength of Jesus trusts
is more than conqueror.

3  Stand then in his great might,
with all his strength endured,
and take, to arm you for the fight,
the panoply of God.


4  From strength to strength go on,
wrestle and fight and pray:
tread all the powers of darkness down,
and win the well-fought day.

5  That, having all things done,
and all your conflicts past,
ye may obtain, through Christ alone,
a crown of joy at last.
