Song written by:
Original in English: Charles Wesley
1
Soldiers of Christ arise
And put your armor 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
2
Stand then in His great might
With all His strength endued
And take to arm you for the fight
The panoply of God
That having all things done
And all your conflicts past
Ye may o’ercome through Christ alone
And stand entire at last
3
Leave no unguarded place
No weakness of the soul
Take every virtue every grace
And fortify the whole
Indissolubly joined
To battle all proceed
But arm yourselves with all the mind
That was in Christ your head

And stand entire at last
3
Stand then against your foes
In close and firm array
Legions of wily fiends oppose
Throughout the evil day
But meet the sons of night
And mock their vain design
Armed in the arms of heavenly light
Of righteousness divine
4
Leave no unguarded place
No weakness of the soul
Take every virtue every grace
And fortify the whole
Indissolubly joined
To battle all proceed
But arm yourselves with all the mind
That was in Christ your head
5
Let truth the girdle be
That binds your armor on
In faithful firm sincerity
To Jesus cleave alone
Let faith and love combine
To guard your valiant breast
The plate be righteousness divine
Imputed and impressed
6
Still let your feet be shod
Ready His will to do
Ready in all the ways of God
His glory to pursue
Ruin is spread beneath
The Gospel greaves put on
And safe through all the snares of death
To life eternal run
7
But above all lay hold
On faith’s victorious shield
Armed with that adamant and gold
Be sure to win the field
If faith surround your heart
Satan shall be subdued
Repelled his every fiery dart
And quenched with Jesus’ blood
8
Jesus hath died for you
What can His love withstand
Believe hold fast your shield and who
Shall pluck you from His hand
Believe that Jesus reigns
All power to Him is given
Believe till freed from sin’s remains
Believe yourselves to Heaven
9
Your Rock can never shake
Hither He saith come up
The helmet of salvation take
The confidence of hope
Hope for His perfect love
Hope for His people’s rest
Hope to sit down with Christ above
And share the marriage feast
10
Brandish in faith till then
The Spirit’s two-edged sword
Hew all the snares of fiends and men
In pieces with the Word
’Tis written This applied
Baffles their strength and art
Spirit and soul with this divide
And joints and marrow part
11
To keep your armor bright
Attend with constant care
Still walking in your captain’s sight
And watching unto prayer
Ready for all alarms
Steadfastly set your face
And always exercise your arms
And use your every grace
12
Pray without ceasing pray
Your captain gives the word
His summons cheerfully obey
And call upon the Lord
To God your every want
In instant prayer display
Pray always pray and never faint
Pray without ceasing pray
13
In fellowship alone
To God with faith draw near
Approach His courts besiege His throne
With all the powers of prayer
Go to His temple go
Nor from His altar move
Let every house His worship know
And every heart His love
14
To God your spirits dart
Your souls in words declare
Or groan to Him who reads the heart
The unutterable prayer
His mercy now implore
And now show forth His praise
In shouts or silent awe adore
His miracles of grace
15
Pour out your souls to God
And bow them with your knees
And spread your hearts and hands abroad
And pray for Sion’s peace
Your guides and brethren bear
For ever on your mind
Extend the arms of mighty prayer
In grasping all mankind
16
From strength to strength go on
Wrestle and fight and pray
Tread all the powers of darkness down
And win the well-fought day
Still let the Spirit cry
In all His soldiers Come
Till Christ the Lord descends from high
And takes the conquerors home
