Onward, Ever Onward!

Christ has need of sol­diers

Brave and staunch and true;

In the front of bat­tle

There’s a place for you;

Ever march­ing on­ward

Through a world of sin

For the heav’n­ly coun­try

Is the prize we win.

Onward! sol­diers of the cross

Doubting nev­er

trust­ing ev­er;

Onward! sol­diers of the cross

Trusting the Lord

Heeding His Word

Onward to vic­to­ry!

Satan would op­pose us

Tempt our souls to stray

But through Him who loves us

We shall win the day;

Other val­iant sol­diers

In the ages past

O’er this up­ward path­way

Reached their home at last.

Let us then with cour­age

Press our up­ward way

With our gaze on Je­sus

Ever watch and pray;

Blazoned on our ban­ner

Christ the Lord of all

While we shout

Ho­san­na

Satan’s hosts must fall.
