Hymn 352 ONWARD CHRISTIAN Lyrics

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 banners 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 foundation quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Lord your anthems raise!

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

4. Onward, then ye, people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song: Glory land, and honor,
Unto Christ the King.
This thro’ countless ages
Men and angels sing
