Arthur Sullivan — 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 banners go Onward, Christian soldiers Marching as to war With the cross of Jesus Going on before 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 Onward, Christian soldiers Marching as to war With the cross of Jesus Going on before 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, Christian soldiers Marching as to war With the cross of Jesus Going on before Onward then, ye people Join our happy throng Blend with ours your voices In our triumph song Crowns and Thrones may perish Kingdoms rise and wane But the cross of Jesus Constant will remain Onward, Christian soldiers Marching as to war With the cross of Jesus Going on before
