LYRICS
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
Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
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
Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
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, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
Onward then, ye people
Join our happy throng
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song
Glory, laud, and honour
Unto Christ the king
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing
Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
