¶Lyrics / Text

Go forward, Christian soldier, beneath his banner true: the Lord himself, thy Leader, shall all thy foes subdue. His love foretells thy trials; he knows thine hourly need; he can with bread of heaven thy fainting spirit feed. Go forward, Christian soldier, fear not the secret foe; far more o’er thee are watching than human eyes can know: trust only Christ, thy Captain; cease not to watch and pray; heed not the treacherous voices that lure thy soul astray. Go forward, Christian soldier, nor dream of peaceful rest, till Satan’s host is vanquished and heaven is all possessed; till Christ himself shall call thee to lay thine armor by, and wear in endless glory the crown of victory. Go forward, Christian soldier, fear not the gathering night: the Lord has been thy shelter; the Lord will be thy light. When morn his face revealeth thy dangers all are past: O pray that faith and virtue may keep thee to the last!
