Tune: Morning Star
(\'Stand up, stand up for Jesus\')
Ephesians 6 v.10-18
********
Put on armour of God all
And stir unto battle
Be strong in the Lord to fight
In [the] power of His might
So putting on armour whole
Keeping body and soul
And spirit, that you may be
Able to stand surely
To stand against the schemes, see
Of the devil, he be
Our enemy, oppressor
Deceiver, accuser
For wrestle against not
Human beings, our lot
Is against rulers, powers
Of darkness in these hours
And against spiritual hosts
Of wickedness, their boasts
That as we cannot them see
They not exist, not be
But take stand diligently
With waist clothed securely
With girdle of truth, breastplate
Of righteousness, not wait
Have feet shod in readiness
To share gospel, to bless
Take shield of faith, so you shall
Quench the fiery darts well
Of the wicked one, they fly
Would seek come to you nigh
Take helmet of salvation
Be lacking none, not one
And take sword of the Spirit
The word of God, the writ
And pray always with all prayer
Too supplications share
Watching and persevering
Dropping guard in no thing
Yes, strong in the Lord to fight
In [the] power of His might
