1 Forward, Christian soldiers, marching on our way, Sword in hand, bravely stand for the right today; Rally ‘round our standard, sound the battle cry, Lift the cross of Jesus, wave its banner high. Refrain: Forward, Christian soldiers, trusting in the Lord, Leading on to victory; Hallelujah! we shall sing, hallelujah to the King! Leading on to victory. 2 Forward, Christian soldiers, marching on our way, Bold and strong, wake the song, rank by rank today; See the foe advancing, hear the trumpet-call; Steady now and fearless, forward, one and all. [Refrain] 3 Forward, Christian soldiers, marching on our way, Lo! a star from afar, shines for us today; ‘Tis our Royal Master, bending from the skies, To His faithful servants reaching forth the prize. [Refrain] 4 Forward, Christian soldiers, marching on our way, Look above, crowns of love, wait the promised day; Follow our Commander till the war is past, Then, with Him in glory, live and reign at last. [Refrain]
