21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.

     22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: 23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. 24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. 25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. 26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. 27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. 28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. 29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. 30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. 31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

     32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: 33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. 34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. 35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.(KJV)

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! 
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, Christian soldiers, 
Marching as to war, 
With the cross of Jesus 
Going on before. 

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, Christian soldiers, 
Marching as to war, 
With the cross of Jesus 
Going on before. 

4. Onward, then, ye faithful, 
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, Christian soldiers, 
Marching as to war, 
With the cross of Jesus 
Going on before.
