1. On-ward, Christian sol-diers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus

Go-ing on before: Christ the Royal Master Leads a-gainst the foe;

REFRAIN

For-ward in - to battle, See, His ban-ners go. Onward, Christian sol-diers,

March-ing as to war, With the cross of Jesus Go-ing on before. A-MEN.

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.

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.

thrust in prison or cast to flame, Still made their glo- ry in the Name. A-MEN.

2 The sons of fathers we

By whom our faith is taught
To fear no ill, to fight

The holy fight they fought:
Heroic warriors! ne'er from Christ
By any lure or guile enticed.

3 March on, O soul, with strength, As strong the battle rolls! 'Gainst lies and lusts and wrongs,

Let courage rule our souls: In keenest strife, Lord, may we stand, Upheld and strengthened by Thy hand.

4 Not long the conflict: soon The holy war shall cease, Faith's warfare ended,-won

The home of endless peace! Look up! the victor's crown at length: March on, O soul, march on, with strength! George T. Coster, 1900

(ST. GERTRUDE)

4 Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain;

Gates of hell can never

'Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ's own promise,

And that cannot fail.

5 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.

- er lives to bring? Who will leave the world's side? Who will face the foe?

Who is on the Lord's side? Who for Him will go? By Thy call of mercy,

By Thy grace di - vine, We are on the Lord's side, Saviour, we

are Thine. AMEN.

2 Not for weight of glory, Nor for crown and palm, Enter we the army,

Raise the warrior psalm;
But for love that claimeth
Lives for whom He died,
He whom Jesus nameth
Must be on His side.
By Thy love constraining,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.

3 Fierce may be the conflict, Strong may be the foe, But the King's own army

None can overthrow;
Round His standard ranging,

Victory is secure;
For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.
Joyfully enlisting

By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.
