Onward, Christian Army

Author: Jas. C. Harwood Hymnal: Songs of the Kingdom #172 (1896) First Line: Hark! I hear the tramp of legions Refrain First Line: We are marching on to Zion Lyrics: 1 Hark! I hear the tramp of legions, Marching with resistless tread; See! they come, a host advancing With their banners high o’erhead; “Whither march ye, youthful soldiers? Under whose command, I pray?” Hear the answer, “We’re the army of King Jesus, on our way.” Refrain: We are marching on to Zion, Christ Himself is at our heard; Such a Chief we dare to follow, Wheresoever we are led. 2 But what means this flaming banner, With its strange device in gold? Loyalty to what, I pray you, Is this loyalty you hold? “’Tis a pledge to Him who leads us, That our swords shall never rest Till the world shall bow before Him, North and South and East and West.” [Refrain] 3 Onward! onward! Christian soldiers! Find the battle’s fiercest fray; Satan’s hosts shall flee before you, All shall own Messiah’s sway; Ignorance and superstition Must forever pass away; Onward! onward press the battle, Onward, you shall win the day. [Refrain] Topics: Loyalty; Warfare Scripture: Ezekiel 37:10 Languages: English Tune Title: [Hark! I hear the tramp of legions]
