“Forward!” be our watchword
Steps and voices joined;
Seek the things before us
Not a look behind;
Burns the fiery pillar
At our army’s head;
Who shall dream of shrinking
By our Captain led?
Forward through the desert
Through the toil and fight;
Heaven’s kingdom waits us
Forward into light.
Glories upon glories
Hath our God prepared
By the souls that love Him
One day to be shared:
Eye hath not beheld them
Ear hath never heard;
Nor of these hath uttered
Thought or speech or word;
Forward
marching forward
Where the kingdom’s bright
Till the veil be lifted
Till our faith be sight!
Forward! Day is dawning;
City is in view!
Heavenly Jerus’lem
Soon we’ll taste anew.
On! To freedom’s glory
Glorious crown to wear;
Co-kings with Christ Jesus
Rule and reign fore’er.
Forward! To the finish
Still the course maintain;
By His mighty power
Forward! Kingdom gain!
