On to Victory (Cabaniss)

Up! all ye Christ­ian sol­diers

Get rea­dy for the fray!

Now hast­en on your ar­mor

And come with­out de­lay;

’Tis time that you were march­ing

’Tis near the break of day

The Sav­ior is your cap­tain

He will lead the way.

Onward! Up­ward! Let the watch­word be;

Forward! for­ward! On to vic­to­ry!

We’ll press the cause of Je­sus

Press on for­ev­er­more;

We’re fight­ing for the Mas­ter

Who has gone be­fore.

Tho’ toil and strife await you

March bold­ly to the fight;

You’re in the path of safe­ty

When bat­tling for the right;

Then

do not be dis­cour­aged

But strive with faith and might;

The Sav­ior is your cap­tain

He will guide you right.

Go

battle till you con­quer

Like sol­diers

brave and true;

Go take the world for Je­sus

As Chris­tians ought to do;

Then on­ward! be your mot­to

And up­ward! be your view

The Sav­ior is your cap­tain

He will bring you thro’.
