Arise, Christian Soldier

Oh

Christ­ian

arise

The con­flict fierce is rag­ing

And trust­ing in God

His help to­day im­plore;

Behold

what a fight

The en­emy is rag­ing

Haste nor deem the con­flict o’er.

Arise

oh arise

And hast­en

Christ­ian sol­dier

Go forth to the fight

That waits for us to­day;

No time for de­lay!

For Sa­tan’s pow­er grows bold­er;

Jesus calls! We must ob­ey.

Oh

Christ­ian

arise

For souls around are dy­ing;

The call comes to you—

Oh

send them light to­day;

The glad Gos­pel news—

To those in bond­age ly­ing

Speed and help them while you may.

Oh

Christ­ian

arise!

And buc­kle on the ar­mor

Go forth to the fray

For Christ Him­self is near;

His grace will sus­tain

And naught of ill shall harm you;

Jesus leads—why should you fear?

Oh

Christ­ian

arise—

For soon the morn­ing break­eth

That glad bless­èd morn

When all earth’s sha­dows flee;

So fight night and day

’Till Heav­en’s dawn awak­eth

That shall bring the vic­to­ry.
