The Convention Hymnal Score of Hymn 33: St. Gertrude (Onward, Christian Soldiers by Rev. S. Baring-Gould

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!
 
  REFRAIN
Onward, Christian soldiers,
    Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
    Going on before.
 
2 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.
        Onward, etc.
 
3 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.
        Onward, etc.
 
4 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.
        Onward, etc.
Rev. S. Baring-Gould.
