Lyrics

Go forth at Christ’s com­mand,
Go forth to ev­ery land,
Through loy­al­ty to Christ
Through loy­al­ty to Christ;
Let strong your ef­forts be
To gain the vic­to­ry,
Through loy­al­ty, yes, loy­al­ty,
Through loy­al­ty to Christ.

Refrain

Onward, on­ward, ar­my of the Lord!
There’s naught to fear
While trust­ing in His Word;
Go forth to fight the wrong,
And shout the vic­tor’s song,
Through loy­al­ty, yes, loy­al­ty,
Through loy­al­ty to Christ.

Be brave to help them win
Who strive to con­quer sin,
Through loy­al­ty to Christ,
Through loy­al­ty to Christ;
Point out the path of light,
Be strong to do the right,
Through loy­al­ty, yes, loy­al­ty,
Through loy­al­ty to Christ.

Refrain

See! Sa­tan’s ban­ners wave,
O haste the lost to save
Through loy­al­ty to Christ,
Through loy­al­ty to Christ;
Beat back the hosts of sin,
Press on the fight to win,
Through loy­al­ty, yes, loy­al­ty,
Through loy­al­ty to Christ.

Refrain

O child­ren of the free!
Let this your watch­word be:
Through loy­al­ty to Christ,
Through loy­al­ty to Christ;
Let hills and val­leys ring,
While men and an­gels sing,
Through loy­al­ty, yes, loy­al­ty,
Through loy­al­ty to Christ.

Refrain
