By Charles Wesley

      1.
      Soldiers of Christ arise,
      and put your armor on,
      strong in the strength which God supplies
      thru 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,
      but take to arm you for the fight
      the panoply of God;
      that having all things done,
      and all your conflicts passed,
      ye may o'ercome thru Christ alone
      and stand entire at last.

      3.
      Pray without ceasing, pray,
      (your Captain gives the word)
      his summons cheerfully obey
      and call upon the Lord;
      to God your every want
      in instant prayer display,
      pray always, pray and never faint,
      pray, without ceasing pray.

      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.
      Still let the Spirit cry
      in all his soldiers, "Come!"
      till Christ the Lord, descends from high
      and takes the conquerors home.
