Onward Christian soldiers, marching unto war. with the cross of Jesus going on before.
Like a mighty army going off to war. Forward into battle see the battle roar?
I think it's something like that. Long time since I sang that song but now it will be on my mind all day.

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 thru countless ages men and angels sing.

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!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.

2. 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.
(Refrain)

3. 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.
(Refrain)

4. 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.
(Refrain)

5. 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.
(Refrain)

A lot of denominations also removed "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus, Ye Soldiers of the Cross" for the same reason. And a secondary reason: the command "Stand Up" was considered offensive and intimidating to the disabled.
