Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924 Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #437 (1970) Topics: Warfare and Victory Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian solders,
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 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! [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
5 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 thru countless ages
Men and Angels sing. [Refrain]
