Onward Christian Soldiers (AYM 54)

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!

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus going on before.

2

At the name of Jesus 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:

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

4

Crowns and thrones may 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:
