Text: | Soldiers of Christ, arise |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | SILVER STREET |
Composer: | Isaac Smith |
Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armour 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.
Stand then in his great might,
With all his strength endued,
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God.
From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle, and fight, and pray:
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may overcome, through Christ alone,
And stand complete at last.
315
To God, the Father, Son,
And Spirit, ever blest,
The One in Three, the Three in One
Be endless praise addressed.
Amen.
