Soldiers of Christ, Arise is an 18th century English hymn. The words were written by Charles Wesley (1707–1788),[1] and the first line ("Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armor on") refers to the armour of God in Ephesians 6:10–18.[2][3]
One of several tunes for the hymn is by William P. Merrill (1867–1954), and the hymn appeared in the Manchester Hymnal.
