Onward, Christian Soldiers

Lyrics

1. 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!

2. [Chorus]

   Onward, Christian soldiers!

   Marching as to war,

   With the cross of Jesus

   Going on before.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 4. 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.
