thus we were made and thus restored.
Christ's conquering Word created all;
our shining hope: his sovereign call.
2 Now Christ has summoned us to speak
his mighty Word, though we are weak.
So let our feet be Gospel-shod,
and all the power belong to God.
3 Christ speaks and freedom is conferred;
he reigns triumphant in his Word
to frustrate Satan's fatal might,
and lead his captives into light.
4 Come, broken-hearted, take good cheer;
come, crushed in spirit, do not fear.
The Lord who reigns in blinding light
dwells with the lowly and contrite.
5 Now let us set the world aflame;
proclaim the glory of his name!
His light be everywhere adored,
and every creature own him Lord! Scripture: Genesis 1:3 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTH PASADENA

Soldiers of Christ, arise
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Together in Song #570 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Commissioning Service Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
and put your armour 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 passed,
you may o'ercome through Christ alone,
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;
in him for ever joined,
to battle all proceed;
but arm yourselves with all the mind
that was in Christ, your Head.
Scripture: 1 Peter 4:1 Languages: English Tune Title: FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
Soldiers of Christ, arise
