Come, put on the ar­mor of Je­sus,
Make rea­dy to bat­tle with sin,
And con­quer the foes that be­set us,
The foes, both with­out and with­in.

Refrain

Lift high the vic­to­ri­ous ban­ner,
The truth that for ag­es has stood;
Be firm in the midst of temp­ta­tion,
And ov­er­come ev­il with good.

The ban­ner of truth we must fol­low,
Nor lin­ger, in doubt and in fear;
For Je­sus is strong to de­liv­er,
Fear not, for the Cap­tain is near.

Refrain

Right on­ward, for­ev­er­more on­ward,
We march in the strength of the King;
For God and the good of our neigh­bor,
Our lives as an of­fer­ing we bring.

Refrain

Whatever the sin that op­pos­es,
The or­der must be un­der­stood;
Be not ov­er­come by the ev­il,
But ov­er­come ev­il with good.
