Onward, soldiers! Onward today;
Christ our Leader, calls us away;
Quickly hasten forth to the field,
March with sword and shield.
“Forward, forward!”
Thus saith the Lord;
Fear not, faint not,
trust in His Word,
He will guard us,
He will defend,
Till the strife shall end.
Onward soldiers! Make no delay;
Hear the orders, hear and obey;
On to vict’ry, on let us go,
Braving ev’ry foe.
“Forward, forward!”
Thus saith the Lord;
Fear not, faint not,
trust in His Word,
He will guard us,
He will defend,
Till the strife shall end.
Onward, soldiers! On for the right,
Let our banners wave in the light;
Soon the victor’s song we will sing,
“Praise to God our King.”
“Forward, forward!”
Thus saith the Lord;
Fear not, faint not,
trust in His Word,
He will guard us,
He will defend,
Till the strife shall end.
