| 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. | | Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain; 490 Gates of hell can never 'Gainst 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 honour, Unto Christ the King; This through countless ages Men and angels sing. | |
