Ephesians 6:10-20

• [Eph 6:10] Be Strong In God

  Be strong in God and in His power; Put on His armor every day. Thus you can take your stand each hour; The devil’s schemes won’t lead you astray. The battle’s like a flood, Though not ’gainst flesh and blood; But ’gainst the spiritual realm, With Satan at the helm; You face the powers of darkness. Take God’s full armor—your life surround, So when the day of evil appears, You’ll then be able to stand your ground, And after all, to stand without fear. Stand firm, then, in the faith, The belt of truth in place; Breastplate of righteousness, Feet shod with readiness That comes from the true Gospel of peace. Take, over all, the shield of faith, To quench the flaming arrows outpoured. Salvation’s helmet wear over your face, And take the Word, the Spirit’s sword. Pray in the Spirit’s power, All kinds of prayers each hour. Be always on alert, And pray for all the Church. Through God you’ll win the battle!

• [Eph 6:10] Behold! The Christian Warrior Stand

  Behold! the Christian warrior stand In all the armor of his God; The Spirit’s sword is in his hand; His feet are with the Gospel shod; In panoply of truth complete, Salvation’s helmet on his head; With righteousness a breastplate meet, And faith’s broad shield before him spread. He wrestles not with flesh and blood, But principalities and powers, Rulers of darkness, like a flood, Nigh, and assailing at all hours. Nor Satan’s fiery darts alone, Quenched on his shield, at him are hurled; The traitor in his heart is known, And the dire friendship of this world. Undaunted to the field he goes; Yet vain were skill and valor there, Unless, to foil his legion foes, He takes the trustiest weapon: prayer. With this omnipotence he moves, From this the alien armies flee, Till more than conqueror he proves, Through Christ, who gives him victory. Thus, strong in his Redeemer’s strength, Sin, death, and hell he tramples down; Fights the good fight, and wins at length, Through mercy, an immortal crown.

On earth the usurpers reign, Exert their baneful power, O’er the poor fallen sons of men They tyrannize their hour: But shall believers fear? But shall believers fly? Or see the bloody cross appear, And all their power defy? Jesus’ tremendous Name Puts all our foes to flight: Jesus, the meek, the angry Lamb, A Lion is in fight. By all hell’s host withstood, We all hell’s host o’erthrow; And conquering them, through Jesus’ blood, We still to conquer go. Our Captain leads us on; He beckons from the skies, And reaches out a starry crown, And bids us take the prize: “Be faithful unto death; Partake My victory; And thou shalt wear this glorious wreath. And thou shalt reign with Me.”

• [Eph 6:12] Conflict Of The Ages, The

  Lo, the conflict of the ages is upon us today, And the armies are assembling all in battle array; Are you numbered with the faithful, one of God’s loyal few, Who have sworn Him full allegiance? can He count upon you? Refrain Have your eyes caught the vision? Have your hearts felt the thrill? To the call of the Master do you answer, “I will”? For the conflict of the ages, told by prophets and by sages, In its fury is upon us, is upon us today. Catch the vision of a lost world going downward in sin, While the Master’s great commission long unheeded has been; See the children of the kingdom joined in heart and in hand, Pressing forward in the struggle to redeem this fair land. Refrain See the Church of God awaking and with glorious zest She is laying on her altars now her noblest and blest; T’ward the final consummation we are hastening on, And the time for loyal service will forever be done.

  Hark, how the watchmen cry, Attend the trumpet’s sound! Stand to your arms, the foe is nigh, The powers of hell surround: Who bow to Christ’s command, Your arms and hearts prepare! The day of battle is at hand! Go forth to glorious war! See on the mountain-top The standard of your God! In Jesus’ Name I lift it up, All stained with hallowed blood. His standard-bearer, I To all the nations call, Let all to Jesus’ cross draw nigh! He bore the cross for all. Go up with Christ your Head, Your Captain’s footsteps see; Follow your Captain, and be led To certain victory. All power to Him is giv’n, He ever reigns the same; Salvation, happiness, and Heav’n Are all in Jesus’ Name. Only have faith in God; In faith your foes assail, Not wrestling against flesh and blood, But all the powers of hell; From thrones of glory driv’n, By flaming vengeance hurled, They throng the air, and darken Heav’n, And rule the lower world.

  O hear them marching, marching, The legions of good will, The men of peace who seek not To bomb and maim and kill; They march not to their conquest With battle flags unfurled; But with their gentle spirit They shall subdue the world. Through all the bloodstained ages Their numbers have increased, The spirit struggling upward To overcome the beast; The meek who shall inherit And rule the warring earth, With patient faith are bringing The new regime to birth. The men of war oppose them, And seek to bar the way, The powers of darkness striving To thwart the coming day; But, led by unseen forces, Their hosts are marching still, To build for future ages The kingdom of good will. A mighty Captain leads them, The valiant Prince of Peace; They shall possess the future, And ancient wrongs shall cease; O men of good will, marching To bloodless victory, We join your hosts in building The kingdom that shall be.

For His judgment stand prepared, Thou must either break or bow. At His presence nature shakes, Earth affrighted hastes to flee; Solid mountains melt like wax, What will then become of thee? Who His advent may abide? You that glory in your shame, Will you find a place to hide When the world is wrapped in flame? Then the rich, the great, the wise, Trembling, guilty, self condemned; Must behold the wrathful eyes Of the Judge they once blasphemed: Where are now their haughty looks? O, their horror and despair! When they see the opened books And their dreadful sentence hear! Lord, prepare us by Thy grace, Soon we must resign our breath, And our souls be called to pass, Through the iron gate of death. Let us now our day improve, Listen to the Gospel voice; Seek the things that are above; Scorn the world’s pretended joys.

• [Eph 6:13] Soldiers Of Christ, Arise

  Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armor on, Strong in the strength which God supplies through His eternal Son. Strong in the Lord of hosts, and in His mighty power, Who in the strength of Jesus trusts is more than conqueror. Stand then in His great might, with all His strength endued, But take, to arm you for the fight, the panoply of God; That, having all things done, and all your conflicts passed, Ye may o’ercome through Christ alone and stand entire at last. Stand then against your foes, in close and firm array; Legions of wily fiends oppose throughout the evil day. But meet the sons of night, and mock their vain design, Armed in the arms of heavenly light, of righteousness divine. Leave no unguarded place, no weakness of the soul, Take every virtue, every grace, and fortify the whole; Indissolubly joined, to battle all proceed; But arm yourselves with all the mind that was in Christ, your Head. But, above all, lay hold on faith’s victorious shield; Armed with that adamant and gold, be sure to win the field: If faith surround your heart, Satan shall be subdued, Repelled his every fiery dart, and quenched with Jesu’s blood. Jesus hath died for you! What can His love withstand? Believe, hold fast your shield, and who shall pluck you from His hand? Believe that Jesus reigns; all power to Him is giv’n: Believe, till freed from sin’s remains; believe yourselves to Heav’n. To keep your armor bright, attend with constant care, Still walking in your Captain’s sight, and watching unto prayer. Ready for all alarms, steadfastly set your face, And always exercise your arms, and use your every grace. Pray without ceasing, pray, your Captain gives the word; His summons cheerfully obey and call upon the Lord; To God your every want in instant prayer display, Pray always; pray and never faint; pray, without ceasing, pray! In fellowship alone, to God with faith draw near; Approach His courts, besiege His throne with all the powers of prayer: Go to His temple, go, nor from His altar move; Let every house His worship know, and every heart His love. To God your spirits dart, your souls in words declare, Or groan, to Him Who reads the heart, the unutterable prayer: His mercy now implore, and now show forth His praise, In shouts, or silent awe, adore His miracles of grace. Pour out your souls to God, and bow them with your knees, And spread your hearts and hands abroad, and pray for Zion’s peace; Your guides and brethren bear for ever on your mind; Extend the arms of mighty prayer, ingrasping all mankind. From strength to strength go on, wrestle and fight and pray, Tread all the powers of darkness down and win the well fought day. Still let the Spirit cry in all His soldiers, “Come!” Till Christ the Lord descends from high and takes the conquerors home.

From victory unto victory His army shall He lead, Till every foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the solemn watchword hear; If while ye sleep He suffers, away with shame and fear; Where’er ye meet with evil, within you or without, Charge for the God of battles, and put the foe to rout. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict, in this His glorious day. Ye that are brave now serve Him against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, and strength to strength oppose. 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, each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls or danger, be never wanting there. Stand up, stand up for Jesus, each soldier to his post, Close up the broken column, and shout through all the host: Make good the loss so heavy, in those that still remain, And prove to all around you that death itself is gain. 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 who overcometh a crown of life shall be; They with the King of Glory shall reign eternally.

  Precious Bible! what a treasure Does the Word of God afford? All I want for life or pleasure, Food and med’cine, shield and sword: Let the world account me poor, Having this I need no more. Food to which the world’s a stranger, Here my hungry soul enjoys; Of excess there is no danger, Though it fills, it never cloys: On a dying Christ I feed, He is meat and drink indeed. When my faith is faint and sickly, Or when Satan wounds my mind, Cordials, to revive me quickly, Healing med’cines here I find: To the promises I flee, Each affords a remedy. In the hour of dark temptation Satan cannot make me yield; For the Word of consolation Is to me a mighty shield While the scripture truths are sure, From his malice I’m secure. Vain his threats to overcome me, When I take the Spirits’ sword; Then with ease I drive him from me. Satan trembles at the word: ’Tis a sword for conquest made, Keen the edge, and strong the blade. Shall I envy then the miser Doting on his golden store? Sure I am, or should be, wiser, I am rich, ’tis he is poor: Jesus gives me in his word, Food and med’cine, shield and sword.
