Onward, Christian Soldiers (Kimball)

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.

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.

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.
