Holborn by Aaron Williams — Lyrics
1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through his eternal Son;
Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in his mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
2 Stand then in his great might,
With all his strength endued,
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God;
That having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.

About Holborn
Aaron Williams' Holborn is a powerful setting of a well-known English hymn text. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies and a full sound, suitable for congregational singing or a choir. The music likely supports the martial imagery of the lyrics, urging the listener to 'arise' and 'put your armor on.' The composer's treatment of this sacred text would ideally reflect its call to spiritual fortitude and reliance on divine strength, encouraging singers and listeners alike to stand firm against adversity.
