6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine In robes of vict'ry through the skies, The glory shall be thine.
Soldiers of Christ are we Marching to victory, Marching to heaven; In his bright armor dressed, His cross our chosen crest, And for our food and rest, His word is given.
2 Tho' foes our path surround, Tho' toils and cares abound, Onward we tread; We hear our Lord's command; We grasp each shining brand, And, like a banner grand, Hope waves o'erhead.
3 Soldiers of Christ are we, Light, Love, and Liberty Our battle call! Till truth shall win the day, Till right shall gain the sway, Till sin is driven away, We fight or fall.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the cross! Lift high his royal banner, It must not suffer loss; From victory unto victory His army shall he lead, Till every foe is vanquished. And Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus. The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict, In this his glorious day; Ye that are men! now serve him, Against unnumbered foes; Your courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Stand in his strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you; Ye dare not trust your own; Put on the gospel armor, And, watching unto prayer, Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there.
4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus: The strife will not be long; This day, the noise of battle,-- The next, the victor's song; To him that overcometh, A crown of life shall be; He, with the King of glory, Shall reign eternally!
God is my strong salvation; What foe have I to fear? In darkness and temptation, My Light, my Help is near: Though hosts encamp around me, Firm to the fight I stand; What terror can confound me, With God at my right hand?
2 Place on the Lord reliance; My soul! with courage wait; His truth be thine affiance, When faint and desolate; His might thy heart shall strengthen, His love thy joy increase; Mercy thy days shall lengthen; The Lord will give thee peace.
Yield not to temptation, For yielding is sin; Each vict'ry will help you Some other to win. Fight manfully onward, Dark passions subdue; Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.
Cho.--Ask the Savior to help you, Comfort, strengthen, and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through.
