Christ, our mighty Captain,
leads against the foe,
We will never falter
when He bids us go;
Tho’ His righteous purpose
we may never know,
Yet we’ll follow all the way.
Forward! forward! ’
tis the Lord’s command;
Forward! forward!
to the promised land;
Forward! forward!
let the chorus ring:
We are sure to win
with Christ, our King!
Satan’s fearful onslaughts
cannot make us yield;
While we trust in Christ,
our Buckler and our Shield;
Pressing ever on—
the Spirit’s sword we wield,
And we follow all the way.
Forward! forward! ’
tis the Lord’s command;
Forward! forward!
to the promised land;
Forward! forward!
let the chorus ring:
We are sure to win
with Christ, our King!
Let our glorious banner
ever be unfurled;
From its mighty stronghold
evil shall be hurled;
Christ, our mighty Captain,
overcomes the world,
And we follow all the way.
Forward! forward! ’
tis the Lord’s command;
Forward! forward!
to the promised land;
Forward! forward!
let the chorus ring:
We are sure to win
with Christ, our King!
Fierce the battle rages—
but ’twill not be long,
Then triumphant, shall
we join the blessèd throng,
Joyfully uniting in the victor’s song—
If we follow all the way.
Forward! forward! ’
tis the Lord’s command;
Forward! forward!
to the promised land;
Forward! forward!
let the chorus ring:
We are sure to win
with Christ, our King!
