Hymn Text
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 banner go!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus Going on before.
2 Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God;
Let us boldly follow Where the saints have trod.
We are not divided; All one body we:
One in hope and doctrine, One in charity. [refrain]
3 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, And that cannot fail. [refrain]
4 Onward, then, you faithful, Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song.
Glory, laud, and honor Unto Christ the king.
We through countless ages With the angels sing: [refrain]
