Onward, Soldiers

Onward

sol­diers! on­ward to­day!

Christ our lead­er calls us away;

Quickly hast­en forth to the field

March with sword and shield.

Forward

for­ward

thus saith the Lord

Fear not

faint not

trust in his Word:

He will guard us

He will de­fend

Till the strife shall end.

Onward

sol­diers! make no de­lay;

Hear the or­ders

hear and ob­ey;

On to vic­to­ry

on let us go

Braving eve­ry foe.

Onward

sol­diers! on for the right

Let our ban­ners wave in the light;

Soon the vic­tor’s song we will sing

Praise to God our king.
