Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the supernatural forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:12
Words: Arthur C. Coxe, Athanasion 1840.

Alternate Tunes:
We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling;
To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations,
Gog and Magog to the fray;
Hark! what soundeth is creation’s
Groaning for the latter day.
Will ye play, then? will ye dally
Far behind the battle line?
Up! it is Jehovah’s rally;
God’s own arm hath need of thine.
Worlds are charging, Heav’n beholding;
Thou hast but an hour to fight;
Now, the blazoned cross unfolding,
On, right onward for the right!
Sworn to yield, to waver, never;
Consecrated, born again;
Sworn to be Christ’s soldiers ever,
O for Christ at least be men!
O let all the soul within you
For the truth’s sake go abroad!
Strike! let every nerve and sinew
Tell on ages, tell for God.
