Onward, Chris­tian sol­diers,
Onward to the fight;
Hold the ban­ner firm­ly,
Battle for the right!
Hold the cross for Je­sus,
As your ban­ner high;
Never must you fal­ter,
Never must you fly.

Refrain

Onward, Chris­tian sol­dier,
Onward to the fight,
Hold the ban­ner firm­ly,
Battle for the right;
Hold the ban­ner firm­ly,
Hold the ban­ner firm­ly,
Hold the ban­ner firm­ly,
Battle for the right.

Jesus Christ, your Sav­ior,
Says that you must win
If you do His bid­ding,
Look for strength to Him;
Clad in heav’n­ly ar­mor,
You’ll o’er­come the foe,
Triumph o’er the tempt­er,
Jesus tells you so.

Refrain

Then when war­fare’s ov­er,
When the fight is done,
When the foes are van­quished,
When the vic­to­ry’s won,
Laying down your ar­mor,
Clad in snowy white,
You shall reign with Je­sus,
In eter­nal light.

Refrain
