Tune: The Supreme Sacrifice
(\'O valiant hearts\')
Ephesians 6 v.10-17
An angle on Remembrance: Nov 11th.
***********
Be strong in the Lord, power of His might
Put on whole armour of God for the fight
That you may be able to stand against
Devil\'s schemes, battle in spiritual sense
For we fight not against humans, but we
Fight against dominions and rulers, see
Against powers of darkness in this age
Enemies of Christ through history\'s each page
So take whole armour of God, that you may
Be able to stand in thee evil day
Stand therefore, having truth to clothe your loins
Breastplate of righteousness, no wrong purloins* (*e.g. stealing)
And have feet shod with the gospel of peace
The everlasting word, which ne\'er shall cease
And take the shield of faith, wherewith you may
Quench all fiery darts wicked throw your way
And take helmet of salvation, and sword
Of the Spirit, it truly be God\'s word
Pray always with all prayer, supplication
In the Spirit, for saints of each nation
