Soldiers of Christ, in Truth Arrayed

lyricist: Basil Manly, 1860
Composer: German tune

Soldiers of Christ

in truth ar­rayed

A world in ru­ins needs your aid:

A world by sin de­stroyed and dead;

A world for which the Sav­ior bled.

His Gos­pel to the lost pro­claim

Good news for all in Je­sus’ name;

Let light up­on the dark­ness break

That sin­ners from their death may wake.

Morning and ev­en­ing sow the seed

God’s grace the ef­fort shall suc­ceed.

Seedtimes of tears have oft been found

With sheaves of joy and plen­ty crowned.

We meet to part

but part to meet

When earth­ly la­bors are com­plete

To join in yet more blest em­ploy

In an eter­nal world of joy.
