  Onward, Christian Soldiers

  Onward, Christian Soldiers

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.	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.	Crowns and thrones my 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) 


5.	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 through countless ages men and angels
	sing.
	(Refrain)
