Christians, Rise, Put On Your Armor

Author: J. C. Aaberg; H. A. Brorson; J. Falkner Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christians, rise, put on your armor; Men of Christ, assume your part. Satan, still the crafty charmer, Trains his host in all his art. As your sword Use God's Word, Hell is battling 'gainst the Lord. 2 Follow Christ, your great Commander, Lean upon His mighty arm; Satan, armed with guile and slander, Aims to do you naught but harm. Have no fear Christ is near, He as victor shall appear. 3 With the cross of Christ to lead you, Press ye onward in the strife. He who by the cross has freed you Fills the faintest heart with life, For each wound Balm is found In the joy of victors crowned. 4 Many hearts are filled with yearning And have yet no solace found. Men to God but partly turning Find that fear and woes abound. God will bless When the flesh By His Spirit we suppress. 5 Crowns are won by true endeavor, As all saints have testified. They have overcome forever, Strengthened by the Lamb that died. Likewise we Cannot be From the Christian's trials free. 6 Though our flesh to dust be turning, If our souls in God remain, On a glorious Easter morning Day for us shall break again. Easter day Holding sway, Death must yield its mighty prey. 7 Then the host of Christ shall gather At His throne a ransomed throng, Offering thanks to God, the Father, And to Christ salvation's song. Every tongue Shall this song Through eternity prolong. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Warfare; Processionals and Recessionals General Used With Tune: NEANDER

Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them, Then their sinking hopes sustain; Thus supported, Thus supported Bid their zeal revive again. 3 In the midst of opposition May they trust, O Lord in thee: When success attends their mission, May thy servants humble be; Never leave them, Never leave them, Till thy face in heav'n they see.

Hear the heralds of the Gospel News from Zion’s King proclaim: Pardon to each rebel sinner, Free forgiveness in His name: How important, how important, Free forgiveness in His name. 3. Tempted souls, they bring you succor; Fearful hearts, they quell your fears, And, with news of consolation, Chase away the falling tears: Tender heralds, tender heralds, Chase away the falling tears. 4. False professors, groveling wordlings, Callous hearers of the Word, While the messengers address you, Take the warnings they afford; We entreat you, we entreat you, Take the warnings they afford. 5. O ye angels, hovering round us, Waiting spirits, speed your way; Haste ye to the court of heaven, Tidings bear without delay, Rebel sinners, rebel sinners, Glad the message will obey.
