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!
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
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.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
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.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
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.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before -
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
