Text Based On 2 Timothy Chapter 2 (KJV)
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life;
that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

Onward, Christian Soldiers!
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 banners go!
Refrain
Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesu 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.
Crowns and thrones have perished,
Kingdoms ruled and waned,
But the church of Jesus constant has remained.
Gates of hell can never ’gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise, that can never fail.
Refrain
5.
Onward, then, ye people!
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song;
Glory, laud and honour unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages men and angels sing.
Refrain
A blessèd Weekly Seventh Day (Saturday) Sabbath, to all true believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
