Author: Rev. Thomas B. Pollock Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #328 (1929) Meter: 12.9.12.9 First Line: We are soldiers of Christ, who is mighty to save Lyrics: 1. We are soldiers of Christ, who is mighty to save, And His banner, the cross, is unfurled; We are pledged to be faithful and steadfast and brave Against Satan, the flesh, and the world. 2. We are brothers and comrades, we stand side by side, And our faith and our hope are the same; And we think of the cross on which Jesus has died, When we bear the reproach of His Name. 3. We will watch ready armed if the tempter draw near, If he come with a frown or a smile; We will heed not his threats, not his flatteries hear, Nor be taken by storm or by wile. 4. For the world's love we live not, its hate we defy, And we will not be led by the throng; We'll be true to ourselves, to our Father on high, And the bright world to which we belong.

Thomas Benson Pollock

1836 - 1896 Person Name: Rev. Thomas B. Pollock Author of "We Are Soldiers of Christ" in The New Christian Hymnal Pollock, Thomas Benson, M.A., was born in 1836, and graduated at Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1859, M.A. 1863, where he also gained the Vice-Chancellor's Prize for English Verse in 1855. Taking Holy Orders in 1861, he was Curate of St. Luke's, Leek, Staffordshire; St. Thomas's, Stamford Hill, London; and St. Alban's, Birmingham. Mr. Pollock is a most successful writer of metrical Litanies. His Metrical Litanies for Special Services and General Use, Mowbray, Oxford, 1870, and other compositions of the same kind contributed subsequently to various collections, have greatly enriched modern hymnbooks. To the 1889 Supplemental Hymns to Hymns Ancient & Modern, Mr. Pollock contributed two hymns, “We are soldiers of Christ, Who is mighty to save" (Soldiers of Christ), and "We have not known Thee as we ought" (Seeking God), but they are by no means equal to his Litanies in beauty and finish. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) =================== Pollock, T.
