Arise, O Men of God!

Описание: Lyrics:
Be strong, ye sons of Zion’s King,
In Christ the Lord alone;
Take courage from His mighty arm,
And trust His strength unknown.

Arrayed in heav’nly armor bright,
Stand firm in battle’s day;
Against the pow’rs of death and hell,
The Church must hold her way.

Arise, O men of God, arise!
Take up the shield and sword!
Stand firm against the gates of hell,
And trust upon the Lord!
O, trust upon the Lord!

Not flesh nor blood our warfare is,
But dark dominions grim;
The rulers of this present age
And hosts of seraphim.

Take up the armor of your God,
That in the evil hour,
Ye still may stand when battle’s done,
Preserved by sov’reign pow’r.

Arise, O men of God, arise!
Take up the shield and sword!
Stand firm against the gates of hell,
And trust upon the Lord!
O, trust upon the Lord!

Now gird your loins with truth secure,
And righteousness put on;
The breastplate of the Just and True—
Christ’s merit is your song.

Shod be your feet with Gospel peace,
Prepared to march and fight;
Proclaim good news from shore to shore,
And drive back darkest night.

Arise, O men of God, arise!
Take up the shield and sword!
Stand firm against the gates of hell,
And trust upon the Lord!
O, trust upon the Lord!

Lift up the shield of holy faith,
Quench ev’ry flaming dart;
Though Satan’s legions strike in vain,
They cannot pierce the heart.

Receive salvation’s helm of steel,
God’s Word—your sharpened blade;
The Spirit’s sword shall cleave the foe,
And all their hosts dismay.

Arise, O men of God, arise!
Take up the shield and sword!
Stand firm against the gates of hell,
And trust upon the Lord!

Arise, O men of God, arise!
Take up the shield and sword!
Stand firm against the gates of hell,
And trust upon the Lord!
O, trust upon the Lord!

O, trust upon the Lord!

O, trust upon the Lord!
