ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

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.

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

Crowns and thrones my 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 one promise and that cannot fail.

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

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.

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