The New Praiseworthy ‎#261

261. Onward, Christian Soldiers

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 banner go!

Chorus:
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,
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise. [Chorus]

3 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. [Chorus]

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
Nen and angels sing. [Chorus]
