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!

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 faith and Spirit

One eternally.

Crowns and thrones may 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 own promise

Which can never fail.

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.
