Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 1,807 hymnals Lyrics: 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.
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;
Christians, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise! [Refrain]
3 Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Christians, 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]
4 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 thro' countless ages
Men and angels sing. [Refrain] Topics: Walking with God Spiritual Conflict and Victory Used With Tune: ST. GERTRUDE
