Chorus:
Onward Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
Onward then ye people
Join our heavenly throng
When we raise our voices
In our triumph song
Christ, our royal master
Leads against the flow
Forward into battle
See his banners go
Chorus
Crowns and Thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane
But the church of Jesus constant will remain
Marching as to war
Oh we're marching as to war
Oh we're marching as to war
Onward then, ye people
Join our heavenly throng
Blend with ours your voices
In our triumph song
Marching as to war
Oh we're marching as to war
Chorus
