f ONWARD, Christian soldiers, With the cross of Jesus See, His banners go! ff Onward, Christian soldiers, &c. 2 f At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee : 3f Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God; mf Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod : We are not divided; All one body we cres One in hope, in doctrine, One in charity. 4 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, cres But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain ; f Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail. 5 f Onward, then, ye faithful! Join our happy throng; Blend with ours your voices, In the triumph-song: cres "Glory, laud, and honour, Unto Christ the King!" mf This, through countless ages, Men and angels sing. Amen. |
