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.
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.
Refrain
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
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.
