ONWARD ! Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before. Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the foe ; Forward into battle, See his banners go.
Onward ! Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, Going on before.
At the sign of triumph Satan's legions flee ; On, then, Christian soldiers.
On to victory ! Hell's foundations quiver At the shout of praise ; Brothers, lift your voices. Loud your anthems raise. Onward ! Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war. With the cross of Jesus, Going on before.
��Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God •, Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod. We are not divided, All one body we. One in hope and doctrine, One in charity.
Onward ! Christian soldiers.
Marching as to war. With the cross of Jesus, Going on before.
Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus .
Constant will remain. Gates of hell can never
'Gainst that Church prevail ; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail.
Onward ! Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war. With the cross of Jesus, Going on before.
��Onward, then, ye people. Join our happy throng. Blend with ours your voices,
In the triumph-song ; Glory, praise, and honour.
Unto Christ, the King, This through countless ages Men and angels sing.
Onward ! Christian soldiers.
Marching as to war. With the cross of Jesus, Going on before.
