ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
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.
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!
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.
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.
5. Onward, then, ye people,
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph-song;
AGlory, laud and honour
Unto Christ the King,
This thro’ countless ages
Men and angels sing.
