Pass the Word

lyricist: Miss H. O. Knowlton, 1900
Composer: Charles Kettle

Pass the word along the line

Tell it friend to friend;

Christ our cap­tain goes be­fore

Leads us to the end—

He who all the dan­ger knows

All the strength of all our foes

Christ our Lord and friend.

Forward

then

where Je­sus leads!

Full of hope and cheer;

Bear the stand­ard of the cross!

Who shall faint or fear?

He who goes where Je­sus leads

Never goes as­tray;

He who Je­sus’ or­der heeds

Always gains the day;

He who fal­ters not shall be

Led to glo­ri­ous vic­to­ry

By a glo­ri­ous way.

Pass the word along the line;

Lo! the pro­mised land

Ye shall en­ter and pos­sess

By His migh­ty hand.

Courage

then! Ye must not fail

Strongest foes can­not pre­vail:

Jesus has com­mand.
