14286. Awake, O Church Of Christ

1 Awake, O Church of Christ, awake,
And put your armor on;
The foe is pressing in on every side
For battle fierce and long;
The clarion call is ringing loud and strong
For soldiers brave and true;
Come, rally round the banner,
Satan’s hosts pursue.

2 Awake, O Church of Christ, awake,
And backward hurl the foe;
The fight is on, the conflict has begun,
And onward we must go;
Press forward in the name of Christ our king,
To shout the victor’s song;
Defying Satan’s mighty hosts,
For Christ march on.

3 Awake, O Church of Christ, awake,
The battle soon shall cease;
When Christ, our mighty leader, shall appear,
And bring enduring peace;
The pow’rs of darkness then shall be cast out,
Confusion mark their way;
So forward, soldiers of the cross,
To win the day.
