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 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 faithful,
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]
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. GERTRUDE
