606b. Soldiers of Christ, arise

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 pow'r;
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 To keep your armour bright,
attend with constant care,
still walking in your Captain's sight
and watching unto prayer.

5 From strength to strength go on,
wrestle and fight and pray;
tread all the pow'rs of darkness down,
and win the well-fought day.

6 That, having all things done,
and all your conflicts past,
ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone,
and stand entire at last.
