Hymn Stanza of the Week: Onward Christian Soldiers

Onward Christian Soldiers
Sabine Baring-Gould (TLH 658, stanza 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.
