Onward, Christian Soldiers is a powerful and inspiring, traditional Christian hymn, here arranged for men's chorus with piano, trumpets and snare. The download for this music includes the full score, as well as choral, trumpet, and snare parts.

This arrangement was commissioned by the BYU Men's Chorus, Rosalind Hall director, for inclusion in their album, Set Apart: Beloved Missionary Hymns. Three others of my hymn arrangements are included in the Set Apart album: Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy, It Is Well with My Soul, and Sweet is the Peace the Gospel Brings.

Lyrics
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! (Chorus) 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, Loud 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. 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.
