Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #606b (2000) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
and put your armour on,
strong in the strength which God supplies
through his eternal Son.
2 Strong in the Lord of hosts,
and in his mighty pow'r;
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 To keep your armour bright,
attend with constant care,
still walking in your Captain's sight
and watching unto prayer.
5 From strength to strength go on,
wrestle and fight and pray;
tread all the pow'rs of darkness down,
and win the well-fought day.
6 That, having all things done,
and all your conflicts past,
ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone,
and stand entire at last. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; Grace and Providence; Year B Proper 16; Year C Proper 25 Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18 Languages: English Tune Title: ST ETHELWALD
