297. We are soldiers of Christ, Who is mighty to save

1 We are soldiers of Christ, Who is mighty to save,
And His banner the Cross is unfurled;
We are pledg'd to be faithful and steadfast and brave
Against Satan, the flesh, and the world.

We are brothers and comrades, we stand side by side,
And our faith and our hope are the same;
And we think of the Cross on which Jesus has died.
When we bear the reproach of His Name.

3 We will watch ready armed if the tempter draw near,
If he come with a frown or a smile;
We will heed not his threats, nor his flatteries hear,
Nor be taken by storm nor by wile.

4 For the world's love we live not, its hate we defy,
And we will not be led by the throng;
We'll be true to ourselves, to our Father on high,
And the bright world to which we belong.

5 Now let each cheer his comrade, let hearts beat as one,
While we follow where Christ leads the way;
'Twere dishonour to yield, or the battle to shun,
We will fight, and will watch, and will pray.

6 Though the warfare be weary, the trial be sore,
In the might of our God we will stand;
Oh, what joy to be crowned and be pure evermore,
In the peace of our own Fatherland!

Amen.
