Onward, Christian Soldiers

By Sabine Baring-Gould



"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
~ 2 Timothy 2:3 ~


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!


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!


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.


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 thru countless ages
Men and angles sing.


Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
