Put on the armour

Put on the armour of Jesus Christ,
Build up your strength in the Lord.
Gird yourself with his truth, carry faith as a shield,
The good news a sword in your hand.

Let your loins be girt and your lamps alight,
Waiting for the day when the Master comes.
May he find you watching when he returns:
He'll come like a thief in the night.

If we die with him, we shall live with him.
If we now endure, we shall reign with him,
If we now not faithful, he'll still keep faith
For he can't be false to himself.
