Composer: | Arthur Sullivan |
1 Onward, Christian solders!
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!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
2 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]
3 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]
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]
