Onward, Christian Soldiers Lyrics
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 host doth 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
Onward then, ye people
Join our happy throng
Blend with ours your voices
In our triumph song
Crowns and Thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane
But the cross of Jesus
Constant will remain
Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
