Onward Christian Soldiers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Onward Christian soldiers!
\nMarching as to war,
\nWith the cross of Jesus
\nGoing on before.
\nChrist, the royal Master,
\nLeads against the foe;
\nForward into battle,
\nSee, His banners go!<\/p>\n

Onward, Christian soldiers!
\nMarching as to war,
\nWith the cross of Jesus,
\nGoing on before.<\/p>\n

At the name of Jesus
\nSatan\u2019s host doth flee;
\nOn then, Christian soldiers,
\nOn to victory!
\nHell\u2019s foundations quiver
\nAt the shout of praise:
\nBrothers, lift your voices,
\nLoud your anthems raise!<\/p>\n

Like a mighty army
\nMoves the Church of God:
\nBrothers, we are treading
\nWhere the saints have trod;
\nWe are not divided,
\nAll one Body we\u2014
\nOne in faith and Spirit,
\nOne eternally.<\/p>\n

Crowns and thrones may perish,
\nKingdoms rise and wane;
\nBut the Church of Jesus
\nConstant will remain.
\nGates of hell can never
\n\u2019Gainst the Church prevail;
\nWe have Christ\u2019s own promise,
\nWhich can never fail.<\/p>\n

Onward, then, ye people!
\nJoin our happy throng;
\nBlend with ours your voices
\nIn the triumph song.
\nGlory, laud and honor
\nUnto Christ, the King;
\nThis through countless ages
\nMen and angels sing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
