The Light of the World

BATTLE IN THE LORD

INTRO

Onward to battle proclaiming the Lord

March like a soldier that’s going to war;

With the cross of Jesus going on before!

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 banner 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.

3

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 thro' countless ages men and angels sing.

4

WOMEN

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.

MEN

Yes, let us march in triumph against Satan’s reign

Let us march unto war,

And waving the banner of Jesus Christ,

His nation constant will remain.

The gates of hell can never prevail

The church of Christ

Let us fight, for the Lord with his promise 

we shall never fail, never fail

REFRAIN

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus going on before!

FINALE

With the cross of Jesus,

Onward to battle, onward to glory,

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before!

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen!
