Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
O church, arise and put your armor on;

Hear the call of Christ our captain;

For now the weak can say that they are strong

In the strength that God has given.

With shield of faith and belt of truth

We'll stand against the devil's lies;

An inheritance of nations.

Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet,

Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,

For the Conqueror has risen!

And as the stone is rolled away,
D5 G/B A/C#
And Christ emerges from the grave,

This vict'ry march continues till the day

Ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him.
