ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

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.

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 proud 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 hope and doctrine, one in charity.

What the saints established that I hold for true;
What the saints believed, that I believe too.
Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold;
Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled.

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 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.

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.

"Onward, Christian Soldiers” was written in 1865 with no intention of ever being published, especially in adult hymn books. Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould, its author, was at that time the curate of a parish in Yorkshire county in the north of England. "It was written in great haste, and I am afraid some of the rhymes are faulty. Certainly nothing has surprised me more than its great popularity."

In 1871 Arthur Sullivan wrote the tune “St. Gertrude” for the hymn, which further popularized the hymn and has ever since been its standard melody.

[Publius]

This is the same Arthur Sullivan as in Gilbert & Sullivan.

OMG!!! How cool is that!?!

Thanks, Pubius, for a huge piece of added history.

And a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Did you get unpacked in Morro, or was that just on the way to Monterey?

I’ve only visited the aquarium.

Nice new home...hope your friend is going well with your extra care.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

A Blessed Lord's Day and Shavua Tov to you.

[Publius]

The house on the Central Coast (San Luis Obispo County) was hers. She sold it to get into this luxurious place. This is only temporary. She wants to find a real house in the area for all her stuff.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Did you and Blue get to have some fun today?

Still overcast and no rain here.

[left that other site]

Blue and I had a lovely ride, but it started to cloud up after I had gone about 30 miles, so I headed home.

Just in time! LOL!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Did you shove work aside for the day? :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Did you have a busy day at the museum? Getting some rest now?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my...one’s stuff can be very important. Sure am glad she has such a good friend to help.

[Fiji Hill]

This is the same Arthur Sullivan as in Gilbert & Sullivan.

Arthur Sullivan also co-wrote another hymn that I like, O Lord of Hosts, to Thee I Cry (1875). Interestingly, the verse is written in a minor key and the refrain in a major key.

[Publius]

He did the same thing in his symphony. The introduction and first movement’s first subject are in opposite modes.
