ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

Onward Christian Soldiers

1.
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.

2. 

At the name of Jesus
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!

Chorus 
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before.

3. 

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 faith and Spirit,
One eternally.

Chorus 
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before.

4. 

Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never
’Gainst the Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise,
Which can never fail.

Chorus 
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before.

5. 

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.

Chorus 
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before.
