March right forward, little Christian bands;
Fear not! oh, fear not!
God will give the battle to your hands;
Fear not! oh, fear not!
Refrain
What tho’ fierce and long the strife is raging,
God is on your side, the foe engaging;
Every wound He heals, the pain assuaging;
Fear not! oh, fear not!
Follow Christ your leader to the end;
Fear not! oh, fear not!
He will guide you, ever will defend;
Fear not! oh, fear not!
Refrain
Early called to battle for the Lord;
Fear not! oh, fear not!
Struggle bravely, trusting in His Word;
Fear not! oh, fear not!
Refrain
Every battle brings you added power;
Fear not! oh, fear not!
Grow then grandly, every day and hour!
Fear not! oh, fear not!
Refrain
