Onward, Christian Soldiers!
Verse 1
Onward, Christian Soldiers! Marching as to war, Looking unto Jesus, Who is gone before; Christ, the Royal Master, Leads against the foe; Forward into battle, See His banners go.
Chorus
Onward, Christian Soldiers! Marching as to war, Looking unto Jesus, Who is gone before.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 5
Onward then, ye people, Join our happy throng; Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song: "Glory, praise and honour, Unto Christ the King," This, through countless ages, Men and angels sing.
