Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Common Praise #571 (2000) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Samuel 30:6 Topics: Second Sunday Before Advent Year A Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
and put your armour 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 endued;
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 o'ercome, through Christ alone,
and stand entire at last. Languages: English Tune Title: ST ETHELWALD
