Tune: | [Onward, Christian soldiers] |
Composer: | Arthur S. Sullivan |
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.
Chorus:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
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. (Chorus)
3 Crowns and thrones may 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 cannot fail. (Chorus)
4 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. (Chorus)
