Men of faith and men of courage,
Waiting orders from the Lord,
Here�s a telegram from Heaven!
�Onward! forward!� is the word;
Get you ready for the battle,
Press into the hottest fray,
�Onward! forward!� be the watchword
All along the lines today.
�Ever forward, up and onward!�
Men, lift up your hearts and pray,
Trust in God and press the battle,
Vict�ry will be ours today.
�Ever forward! up and onward,�
Our Jehovah bids us go;
�Onward! forward! ever onward!�
Every heart with faith aglow;
Nerveless sycophants may cower,
We will bold, unfearing be,
For Jehovah�s pledge assures us
Ours will be the victory.
�Ever forward, up and onward!�
Men, lift up your hearts and pray,
Trust in God and press the battle,
Vict�ry will be ours today.
Strike for right and strike for justice,
Strike for home and native land!
Strike for God and for His kingdom
With a firm and fearless hand!
Dare to front the evil legions
That would fill us with affright,
For the Lord who reigns in Heaven
Will be with us in the fight.
�Ever forward, up and onward!�
Men, lift up your hearts and pray,
Trust in God and press the battle,
Vict�ry will be ours today.
Press the battle! fearless ever,
And the foeman must give way!
Press the battle! never falter!
Vict�ry waits our flag today!
God has pledged His arm of power
And His might will be displayed,
If we press the earnest conflict,
Trusting Him and unafraid.
�Ever forward, up and onward!�
Men, lift up your hearts and pray,
Trust in God and press the battle,
Vict�ry will be ours today.
