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 banners 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;
Christians, we are treading
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 that Church prevail;
we have Christ's own promise,
and that cannot fail. [Refrain]
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 thro' countless ages
with the angels sing. [Refrain]
