6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4
Be strong in God’s great might!
Put on the armour giv’n.
The children of the light
March with the hosts of heav’n.
At Christ’s right hand,
Before whom fell
The powers of hell,
We take our stand.
So gather up your arms!
Resist the evil day.
Stand firm against the harms
That Satan sends your way.
The war is long:
Prepare to fight
Against the night,
Oh Saint, stand strong!
Truth, faith and righteousness –
The armour given by God.
With gospel readiness
Shall Christian feet be shod.
Saved and secure –
Take up your sword,
God’s holy word,
To vict’ry sure.
Peace, love and faith be yours,
Who serve Christ all your days.
Ask that your faith endures
In ceaseless prayer and praise.
His word proclaim!
Pray words be sent
As we are spent
To preach Christ’s name!
