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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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?

Refrain

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.

Refrain
