LYRICS:
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!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
2 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! [Refrain]
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 hope and doctrine, one in charity. [Refrain]
4 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 thro' countless ages men and angels sing. [Refrain]

I remember singing this hymn in a children's choir at a large Methodist church in the Kansas City (USA) area over 65 years ago. I remember that we stopped before the last chorus and asked the congregation to join us in the chorus. I've never heard the second verse before. Thank you for doing this hymn.

This song is a good reminder that we are soldiers in God's army & we should be living the life a soldier ready to go to battle when the Saviour calls us. It reminded me of listening to TBN from Israel the other day & the two commentators were saying that they are both in the reserves & everything is ready for that sudden phone call telling them to report to their units should war break out in full force in Lebanon & their presence be needed & I thought of this song & asked myself the question - am I ready to go to war ?

I love this,and re member singing it with such a powerful and scary voice (I thought ) at 6yrs old😂 , but now 90+ the ' flesh is willing but the vocal cords are not. Maybe it's a vital time to sing it ,even to encourage ourselves ❤

Wonderful old hymn and excellent performance. In our hymnbooks (Just Hymns Old and New, Catholic Edition) it's been rewritten as "Onward Christian Pilgrims" with some dreadfully bland lyrics by Michael Forster. I miss the original. It reminds us that life is a spiritual battleground, not a playground. "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus" is another of my favourites.

We are always to be salt and light & when we are in this day and age, you better believe it will be war. No rainbow flags no worries over pronouns. We should fear God and not man.
