Arm for the Conflict

There is war­fare all around us;

There are foes who fain would wound us;

Yet what fear can e’er con­found us

If we trust the king we serve!

Arm for the con­flict

sol­diers true

Christ

our Lord is king for­ev­er­more;

All our host will shout with vic­to­ry

For our king goes on be­fore!

Christ is the cap­tain whom we serve

He it is who leads against the foe;

Fight! Fight! fight in His might!

Where He com­mands us be rea­dy to go.

Satan’s forc­es march to meet us;

Satan

craf­ty foe

would cheat us;

Yet what pow­er can e’er de­feat us

If we trust the king we serve!

Christ

our king

is ev­er near us;

Evermore His word will cheer us;

Call for strength and He will hear us

If we trust the king we serve!

See! their ban­ners fall be­fore us;

See the truce their her­alds bore us;

Victory! O shout the chor­us!

Hail

the bless­èd king we serve!
