Verse 1

Oh, when shall I see Jesus,
And reign with him above?
And drink the flowing fountain
Of everlasting love?
When shall I be delivered
From this vain world of sin?
And with my blessed Jesus
Drink endless pleasures in?

Verse 2

But now I am a soldier,
My Captain’s gone before;
He’s given me my orders,
And tells me not to fear;
And if I hold out faithful,
A crown of life he’ll give,
And all his valiant soldiers
Eternal life shall have.

Verse 3

Through grace I am determined
To conquer, though I die,
And then away to Jesus
On wings of love I’ll fly!
Farewell to sin and sorrow,
I bid them all adieu;
And you, my friends, prove faithful,
And on your way pursue.

Verse 4

Oh! do not be discouraged,
For Jesus is your friend;
And if you lack for knowledge,
He’ll not forget to lend:
Neither will he upbraid you,
Though often you request;
He’ll give you grace to conquer,
And take you home to rest.

Soldiers of Christ, Arise

Charles Wesley·Post-Reformation

Verse 1

Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through His Eternal Son.

Verse 2

Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in His mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.

Verse 3

Stand then in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God:

Verse 4

That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts passed,
Ye may o’ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.

Verse 5

From strength to strength go on;
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.

Verse 6

Still let the Spirit cry
In all His soldiers, “Come,”
Till Christ the Lord descends from high,
And takes the conquerors home.

Arise, Ye Saints, Arise!

Thomas Kelly·Modern

Verse 1

Arise, ye saints, arise!
The Lord our Leader is:
The foe before his banner flies,
And victory is his.

Verse 2

We soon shall see the day
When all our toils shall cease;
When we shall cast our arms away,
And dwell in endless peace.

Verse 3

This hope supports us here;
It makes our burdens light:
’Twill serve our drooping hearts to cheer,
Till faith shall end in sight:--

Verse 4

Till, of the prize possessed,
We hear of war no more;
And ever with our Leader rest,
On yonder peaceful shore.

Verse 1

Soldiers of Christ are we
Marching to victory,
Marching to heaven;
In his bright armor dressed,
His cross our chosen crest,
And for our food and rest,
His word is given.

Verse 2

Tho’ foes our path surround,
Tho’ toils and cares abound,
Onward we tread;
We hear our Lord’s command;
We grasp each shining brand,
And, like a banner grand,
Hope waves o’erhead.

Verse 3

Soldiers of Christ are we,
Light, Love, and Liberty
Our battle call!
Till truth shall win the day,
Till right shall gain the sway,
Till sin is driven away,
We fight or fall.

Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus

George Duffield·Modern

Verse 1

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high his royal banner,
It must not suffer loss;
From victory unto victory
His army shall he lead,
Till every foe is vanquished.
And Christ is Lord indeed.

Verse 2

Stand up, stand up for Jesus.
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this his glorious day;
Ye that are men! now serve him,
Against unnumbered foes;
Your courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.

Verse 3

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Stand in his strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you;
Ye dare not trust your own;
Put on the gospel armor,
And, watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.

Verse 4

Stand up, stand up for Jesus:
The strife will not be long;
This day, the noise of battle,--
The next, the victor’s song;
To him that overcometh,
A crown of life shall be;
He, with the King of glory,
Shall reign eternally!
