March On, My Soul, with Strength

lyricist: William Wright (1859–1924)
Composer: Charles Steggall, 1865

March on

my soul

with strength

March for­ward

void of fear;

He who has led will lead

Through each suc­ceed­ing year;

And as you jour­ney on your way

His hand shall hold you day by day.

March on

my soul

with strength

In ease you dare not dwell;

Your Mas­ter calls you forth;

Then up

and serve Him well!

Take up your cross

take up your sword

And fight the bat­tles of your Lord!

March on

my soul

with strength

With strength

but not your own;

The con­quest you shall gain

Through Christ your Lord alone;

His grace shall pow­er your fee­ble arm

His love pre­serve you safe from harm.

March on

my soul

with strength

From strength to strength march on;

Warfare shall end at length

All foes be ov­er­thrown.

And then

my soul

if faith­ful now

The crown of life awaits your brow.
