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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
