ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIER

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!

CHORUS
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.

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, Which can never fail.

At the sign of triumph, Satan’s host doth flee;
Oh, then Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations
quiver At the shout of praise;


Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise!

Onward, then, ye people!
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your
voices In the triumph song;
Glory,
laud, and honor, Unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages Men and
angels sing.
