Representative Text

1 Soldiers in the gospel army,
Put on the whole armor of God;
For the conflict fiercely raging,
Put on the whole armor of God.
See the enemy in sight,
Trampling on the truth and right;
Up! equip ye for the fight—
Put on the whole armor of God.

Chorus:
Buckle on the sword,
Take his holy word;
Equip today, and haste away,
Put on the whole armor of God.

2 Christ is on the field commanding,
Put on the whole armor of God;
Marshalled be, and ready standing,
Put on the whole armor of God.
Falter not upon the way;
On! your Leader’s call obey!
For the grand and glorious day
Put on the whole armor of God. [Chorus]

3 Holding high his glorious banner,
Put on the whole armor of God;
Loudly singing your hosanna,
Put on the whole armor of God.
You shall never know defeat,
But with victory complete
Lay your trophies at his feet—
Put on the whole armor of God. [Chorus]
