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 banner go.
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the Cross of Jesus,
Going on before.

At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee,
On then, Christian soldiers,
On to victóry!
Hell's foundations quiver
At the shout of praise,
Brothers, lift your voices
Loud your anthems raise
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the Cross of Jesus,
Going on before.

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, in doctrine,
One in charity.
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the Cross of Jesus,
Going on before.

Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdom 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.
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.
