O Chris­tian, gird the ar­mor on,
And press the fight with sin!
Go forth against the hosts of wrong,
Go forth our cause to win;
The con­flict wild­ly rag­es,
No long­er, then, de­lay,
But, trust­ing in Je­ho­vah’s might,
Go! watch, and fight, and pray.

Refrain

Hallelujah! they are march­ing on,
Hallelujah, praise the Lord!
The ar­mies of the liv­ing God
Are march­ing on.

O Chris­tian, gird the ar­mor on,
And hast­en to the field;
Against the pow­ers of dark­ness go,
Determined not to yield!
Clad in a full sal­va­tion,
The Spi­rit’s sword in hand,
From vic­to­ry un­to vic­to­ry go!
It is the Lord’s com­mand.

Refrain

O Chris­tian, gird the ar­mor on,
The world is watch­ing thee;
With pray­er and sup­pli­ca­tion press
Along to vic­to­ry!
Be loy­al to His ser­vice,
His truth to all pro­claim;
God loves a val­iant war­ri­or,
Then go in Je­sus’ name.
