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 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
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
And that cannot fail
Onward, then, ye people!
Join our happy throng
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph-song
Glory, laud, and honour
Unto Christ the King!
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing
