| 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 banner go! |
| | Onward Christian soldiers! |
| | Marching as to war, |
| | With the cross of Jesus |
| | Going on before. |
| 2. | 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! |
| 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 faith and Spirit, |
| | One eternally. |
| 4. | Crowns and thrones may perish, |
| | Kingdoms rise and wane; |
| | But the Church of Jesus |
| | Constant will remain. |
| | Gates of hell can never |
| | 'Gainst the Church prevail; |
| | We have Christ's own promise, |
| | Which can never fail. |
| 5. | Onward, 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 through countless ages |
| | Men and angels sing. |
