Soldiers of Christ, arise

1

Soldiers of Christ, arise,And put your armor on;Fight, for the battle will be ours;We fight to win a crown.

2

We fight not against flesh,We wrestle not with blood;But principalities and powers,And for the truth of God;

3

With wicked spirits, too,That in high places stand,Perverting oft the word of God,And say 't is by command.

4

Put all the armor on,Like valiant soldiers stand;Let all your loins be girt with truth,Waiting our Lord's command.

5

While Jesus is our friend,And his rich grace supplies,We 'll march like valiant soldiers on;We 're sure to win the prize.

6

The battle 's almost o'er;The race is nearly run;Then with our glorious, conquering KingWe 'll sit down on his throne.
