Onward, Christian Soldiers

by Arthur Sullivan

Verse 1
On-ward, 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!

Verse 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!

Verse 3
On-ward, 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.

Chorus
Onward, Christian Soldiers! Marching as to War,
With the Cross of Jesus Going on Before.
