612- Onward, Christian Soldiers!

Christian Life: Christian Warfare

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;
  • Christians, 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

  • Crowns and thrones have perished,
  • 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,
  • That can never fail.

4

  • Onward, then, ye people!
  • Join our happy throng,
  • Blend with ours your voices
  • In the triumph song;
  • Glory, praise, and honor
  • Unto Christ the King,
  • This through countless ages
  • Men and angels sing.
