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! |
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, |
With the cross of Jesus going on before. |
2. 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. |
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 hope and doctrine, one in charity. |
4. 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. |
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. |
