Forward, Men and Brothers!

Forward

men and bro­thers!

Hear the Sav­ior’s call!

Countless souls are wait­ing

There is work for all;

Shall we lin­ger id­ly

While the days pass on?

God and an­gels beck­on;

Forward

ev­ery one!

Forward

men and bro­thers!

Hear the Sav­ior’s call!

Countless souls are wait­ing

There is work for all.

Ours a roy­al stan­dard

Ours a glo­ri­ous strife

Winning men from ev­il

To a ho­ly life;

Jesus Christ the Cap­tain

Faith in Him our shield;

Hasten for­ward

bro­thers

Till sin’s bul­warks yield!

Courage

fal­ter nev­er

In Christ’s strength be strong;

Now the strife and dan­ger

Now the tri­umph song;

Strike the shac­kles quick­ly

With the migh­ty sword;

Forward

men and bro­thers

Conquer by His Word!
