Hymn 377
Onward, Christian soldiers!
- Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war.
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before;
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle.
See His banners go.
Onvoard, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before.
- At the name of Jesus
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
Whore the saints have trod.
We are not divided.
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine.
One in charity.
- Crowns and thrones may perish.
Kingdoms rise and wane;
Hut the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain:
Gales of hell c an never
'Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise-
And that cannot fail.
- Onward then, ye people,
loin our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song:
"Glory, praise and honour.
Unto Christ the King",-
This, through countless ages.
Men and angels sing.
