Forward, forward, is the battle cry,
Onward, onward, to our home on high;
We will conquer for the Lord or die,
The foe’s retreating, press the battle on.
Strengthened by the mighty power of heaven,
We shall conquer, we shall conquer;
Till the raging foe afar is driven,
Press the battle on.
Forward, forward, never faint or fear,
Christ, our Captain, is forever near;
Be courageous, full of hope and cheer,
With full assurance press the battle on.
Strengthened by the mighty power of heaven,
We shall conquer, we shall conquer;
Till the raging foe afar is driven,
Press the battle on.
Forward, forward, put the foe to flight,
We are battling for the truth and right;
We shall triumph In Jehovah’s might,
Then do not falter, press the battle on.
Strengthened by the mighty power of heaven,
We shall conquer, we shall conquer;
Till the raging foe afar is driven,
Press the battle on.
Forward, forward, there’s a crown before,
See it shining on that heavenly shore?
We shall wear it when the conflict’s o’er,
The prize is waiting, press the battle on.
Strengthened by the mighty power of heaven,
We shall conquer, we shall conquer;
Till the raging foe afar is driven,
Press the battle on.
