1 Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armor on, strong in the strength which God supplies through his eternal Son;
2 strong in the Lord of hosts, and in his mighty power: who in the strength of Jesus trusts is more than conqueror.
3 Stand then in his great might, with all his strength endued, and take, to arm you for the fight, the panoply of God.
4 From strength to strength go on, wrestle and fight and pray: tread all the powers of darkness down, and win the well-fought day.
5 That, having all things done, and all your conflicts past, ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone, and stand complete at last.
