Hymn #612

Onward, Christian Soldiers!

Lyrics

Verse 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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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 can never fail.

Verse 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.
