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!
Chorus:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
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! [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
