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.
(Chorus) 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.
3. 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.
