1. 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! Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory! Hells foundations quiver at the shout of praise; Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise. 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. What the saints believèd, that I believe too. Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold, Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled. But the church of Jesus constant will remain. Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail; We have Christs own promise, and that cannot fail. 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. |

Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His royal banner, it must not suffer loss. From victory unto victory His army shall He lead, Till every foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed. If while ye sleep He suffers, away with shame and fear; Whereer ye meet with evil, within you or without, Charge for the God of battles, and put the foe to rout. Forth to the mighty conflict, in this His glorious day. Ye that are brave now serve Him against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, and strength to strength oppose. The arm of flesh will fail you, ye dare not trust your own. Put on the Gospel armor, each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls or danger, be never wanting there. Close up the broken column, and shout through all the host: Make good the loss so heavy, in those that still remain, And prove to all around you that death itself is gain. This day the noise of battle, the next the victors song. To those who vanquish evil a crown of life shall be; They with the King of Glory shall reign eternally. |

1. Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His Name? On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? Increase my courage, Lord. Ill bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy Word. Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. And all Thy armies shine In robes of victory through skies, The glory shall be Thine. |

Never be sad or desponding, If thou hast faith to believe. Grace, for the duties before thee, Ask of thy God and receive. Never give up, never give up, Never give up to thy sorrows, Jesus will bid them depart. Trust in the Lord, trust in the Lord, Sing when your trials are greatest, Trust in the Lord and take heart. What though thy life may be drear; Look on the side that is brightest, Pray, and thy path will be clear. There is a morrow for thee; Soon thou shalt dwell in its brightness, There with the Lord thou shalt be. Lean on the arm of thy Lord; Dwell in the depths of His mercy, Thou shalt receive thy reward. |

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of Gods own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same, And He must win the battle. We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill: Gods truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever. |

My Shepherd will supply my need: Jehovah is His Name; In pastures fresh He makes me feed, Beside the living stream. He brings my wandering spirit back When I forsake His ways, And leads me, for His mercys sake, In paths of truth and grace. His presence is my stay; One word of His supporting grace Drives all my fears away. His hand, in sight of all my foes, Doth still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, His oil anoints my head. Attend me all my days; O may Thy house be my abode, And all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest, While others go and come; No more a stranger, nor a guest, But like a child at home. |
