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;
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. [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
Men and angels sing. [Refrain]
