Onward Christian Soldier Songtext
von Petra

Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus, who is gone before.
Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle, See his banners go!

Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus, who is gone before.

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.


Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus, who is gone before.

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.

Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus, who is gone before.

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.


Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus, who is gone before.
