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!
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.
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, which can never fail.
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 thro' countless ages men and angels sing.
Onward Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before.
