The Christian warrior, see him stand

In the whole armor of his God;

The Spirit’s sword is in his hand,

His feet are with the gospel shod.

2 In panoply of truth complete,

Salvation’s helmet on his head,

With righteousness, a breastplate meet;

And faith’s broad shield before him spread.

3 With this, omnipotence he moves;

From this the alien armies flee;

Till more than conqueror he proves,

Through Christ, who gives him victory.

4 Thus, strong in his Redeemer’s strength,

Sin, death, and hell he tramples down,

Fights the good fight, and wins at length,

Through mercy, an immortal crown.
