The Whole Armor of God.
1 Followers of Christ! arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
To each obedient son.
2 Stand forth in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God.
3 And, above all, lay hold
Of faith's victorious shield;
Armed with that adamant and gold,
Ye cannot lose the field.
4 Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul;
Take every virtue, every grace,
And consecrate the whole.
5 That having all things done,
And conquered in the strife,
To nobler service ye pass on,
And an undying life!
