On for Je­sus! stea­dy be your arm and brave;
Onward, on­ward take the shield and sword;
On for Je­sus! stan­dard of your cap­tain wave,
Pressing on­ward, trust­ing in His word.

Refrain

Marching, march­ing on,
We’re march­ing onward still for Je­sus;
Marching, march­ing on,
Beneath the ban­ner of the free.
On for Je­sus! this shall be the bat­tle cry,
Ne’er re­treat­ing, ev­er press­ing on;
On for Je­sus! march­ing on to vic­to­ry,
As we shout the glad re­demp­tion song.

On for Je­sus! tire­some tho’ the con­flict be,
Tho’ the hosts of sin are press­ing hard;
On for Je­sus! striv­ing for the vic­to­ry,
Endless life will soon be your re­ward.

Refrain

On for Je­sus, till the sound of strife is o’er!
When the great Com­mand­er calls for thee,
Thou shalt wear a crown of life for­ev­er­more,
And with Je­sus reign eter­nal­ly.
