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 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]
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. [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 through countless ages men and angels sing. [Refrain] Topics: Worship and Adoration Used With Tune: [Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war]
