Fighting for the Lord;
To the foe we’ll nev­er, nev­er yield,
To the foe we’ll nev­er, nev­er yield,
As our Sav­ior greet Him, grate­ful trib­ute bring,
They can­not pre­vail;
Never shrink nor fa­lter,
Will hold and bind him fast;

His ene­mies pur­sue;
His ene­mies pur­sue;
In the ar­my of the Lord,
O soul, sink­ing down ’neath sin’s mer­ci­less wave,
And oth­er ships are pass­ing by;
’Tis near the break of day,

our cap­tain

Guards us with His word.
We’re sol­diers of the heav’n­ly King,
We’re sol­diers of the heav’n­ly King,
Forward, for­ward! vic­to­ry be the cry;
Forward go to meet the foe;
Soon the war­fare ov­er,
We’ll con­quer him at last.
To Je­sus our king
Be strong, and brave, and true.
Be strong, and brave, and true.
We are un­der march­ing or­ders
Then trust Him to­day, no longer de­lay,
His star is shin­ing in the sky.
He will lead the way.
