Soldiers of Christ, Arise

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 892 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-17 Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise and put your armor on, strong in the strength that 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. 2 Stand, then, in his great might, with all his strength endued, and take, to arm you for the fight, the weapons of our God. To keep your armor bright, attend with constant care, still walking in your captain's sight and keeping watch with prayer. 3 From strength to strength go on, to wrestle, fight, and pray; tread all the powers of darkness down and win the well-fought day, till, having all things done and all your conflicts past, you overcome through Christ alone and stand complete at last.

Be strong in faith and serve him against unnumbered foes; let courage rise with danger, and all God's foes oppose. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, stand in his strength alone; the arm of flesh will fail you, you dare not trust your own. Put on the gospel armor, each piece put on with prayer; where duty calls, or danger, be never failing there. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the fight will not be long this day the noise of battle, the next the victor's song. To every one who conquers, a crown of life shall be; we with the King of glory shall reign eternally.

We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge! Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.
