242. Onward

1 Onward, onward, onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching, marching, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus,
With the cross of Jesus,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe.
Forward into battle,
See, his banners go!
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See, his banners go!
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.
Onward, onward, onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching, marching, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
With the cross of Jesus,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before;
With the cross of Jesus,
With the cross of Jesus, cross of Jesus
Going on before, marching
With the cross of Jesus,
With the cross of Jesus,
The cross of Jesus,
Going on before
