Petra – Onward Christian Soldiers lyrics
Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before
Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng
Blend with ours your voices in a triumph song

Christ, the Royal Master, leads against the foe
Forward into battle, see His banners go, oh

Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before
Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane
But the cross of Jesus constant will remain

Marching as to war
(Marching as to war)
Oh, we're marching as to war
(Marching as to war)

Oh, we're marching as to war
Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng
Blend with ours your voices in a triumph song
Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before

Marching as to war
(Marching as to war)
Oh, we're marching as to war
(Marching as to war)
