Hymn 168 - Onward, Christian Soldiers

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 thro’ countless ages Men and angels sing.

REFRAIN

Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus Going on before!
