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!

Like a might 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!

Onward, Christian Soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before!

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.

Onward, Christian Soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before!
Amen
