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 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 What the saints established that I hold for true What the saints believed, that I believe too Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane But the church of Jesus constant will remain Gates of hell can never against that church prevail We have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail 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
