We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

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!
Refrain
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!
Refrain
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!
Refrain
See! their banners fall before us;
See the truce their heralds bore us;
Victory! O shout the chorus!
Hail, the blessèd king we serve!
