158. Onward, Christian Soldiers

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 banners go.

Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.

2 Onward, then, ye faithful,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor
Unto Christ, the King –
This through endless ages
Men and angels sing. [Refrain]
