[Verse]
L1: On - ward! Chris - tian sol - diers, March - ing as to war, With the Cross of Je - sus Go - ing on be - fore. Christ, the roy - al Mas - ter, Leads a - gainst the foe; For - ward in - to bat - tle, See! His ban - ners go.
L2: At the sign of tri - umph Sa - tan's host doth flee; On then, Chris - tian sol - diers, On to vic - tor - y! Hell's foun - da - tions quiv - er At the shout of praise; Broth - ers, lift your voi - ces, Loud your an - thems raise.
L3: Like a might - y ar - my Moves the Church of God; Broth - ers, we are tread - ing Where the saints have trod. We are not di - vid - ed, All one bod - y we, One in hope, in doc - trine, One in char - i - ty.
L4: Crowns and thrones may per - ish, King - doms rise and wane, But the Church of Je - sus Con - stant will re - main. Gates of hell can nev - er 'Gainst that Church pre - vail; We have Christ's own prom - ise, And that can - not fail.
L5: On - ward then, ye peo - ple! Join our hap - py throng; Blend with ours your voi - ces In the tri - umph song: Glo - ry, laud, and hon - our Un - to Christ the King! This through count - less a - ges Men and an - gels sing.
