f2 At the sign of triumph
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!
ff Onward, etc.

f3 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.

ff Onward, etc.

mf 4 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane,

f 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.
ff Onward, etc.

f5 Onward, then, ye people!
Join our happy throng!
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song!
Glory, laud, and honour,
Unto Christ the King;

This through countless ages
Men and angels sing.

ff Onward, etc.

mf 2 Sing how He came forth from heaven, f4 mp Bowed Himself to Bethlehem's cave, Stooped to wear the servant's vesture, p Bore the pain, the cross, the grave, Passed within the gates of darkness,

Thence His banished ones to save!

p 3 So He tasted death for all men,

He of all mankind the Head,

Sinless One among the sinful,

Prince of life among the dead;

Now on high, yet ever with us,

From His Father's throne, the Son Rules and guides the world Heransom'd Till th' appointed work be done, Till He see, renewed and perfect, All things gathered into one.

And the captor captive led.

God be "all in all" at last.
