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!

At the name of Jesus
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!
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!

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 faith and Spirit,
One eternally.

Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never
’Gainst the Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise,
Which can never fail.

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.

Like a mighty army, moves the Church of God. We are treading where the saints have tread before. We are not divided, all one body we are as we stand/move against the tides of the wicked devil and His cohorts during this time of 2020 lockdown that keeps the Church out of Zion. Therefore, lift up your heads oh ye gates, and be ye lifted ye everlasting doors, that the King of glory may come in.... the Lord strong and mighty in battle (Ps. 24:7) in Jesus Name.

I just remembered this song while trying to put my baby sleep and I feel blessed by it. Powerful lyrics we got here especially now that our days are uncertain all we can do is remember that we're soldiers of Christ.

What a powerfully anointed hymn of praise, worship and victory in Jesus Christ. It is appropriate for all time, but how so much more meaningful for such a time as this. Praise the Lord for His eternal Truths and Promises.

In this time when many are fearful God offers us hope and peace of mind. The Church of God can be united, work together, and go forward with a song, even if we are not able to meet together as we would like to.

I love this song, especially if I am playing the violin or piano

My best Hymn
We will keep fighting the war
Till our Lord Jesus Christ Return
Lagos, Nigeria
This song is so soothing at a time like this when war has been declared on the Church with kidnappings and ransom. It’s comforting to know that Christians in the 18th century also felt like they were in a war.

We used to sing this song in Grade 10 and I woke up this morning thinking about this song. When you look at the times, we are truly Marching to War because of persecution. People do not want to hear the name of the Lord Jesus. To me this is proof that the name of the Lord Jesus is power. May the Lord Jesus bless you all abundantly.
