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 Heav'n 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 gath'ring night
The Lord has been thy Shelter
The Lord will be thy Light
When morn His face revealeth
Thy dangers are all past
O pray that faith and virtue
May keep thee to the last!
