Onward, Christian Soldiers

Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
looking unto Jesus,
who is gone before,
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle
see His banners go!

Chorus:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
looking unto Jesus,
who is gone before.

At the name of Jesus,
Satan's host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise.

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.

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.
