Lyrics

Jesus is call­ing! Forth to the fray,
In line be fall­ing, serve Him to­day;
Follow Him ev­er, call no re­treat,
His sol­diers ne­ver suf­fer de­feat.

Refrain

On to vic­to­ry, fol­low your migh­ty com­mand­er,
On to vic­to­ry, fol­low where Je­sus may go;
On to vic­to­ry, close to your shield and de­fend­er;
On to vic­to­ry, con­quer­ing ev­ery foe.

He needs you, bro­ther, do thou His will;
Your place no oth­er ev­er can fill;
Gird on the ar­mor, take up the sword;
Join your com­mand­er, fol­low your Lord.

Refrain

Morning is com­ing, night will be past;
Soon will the dawn­ing, break in at last;
Then with the morn­ing, glo­ri­ous and bright,
Rich crowns ad­orn­ing, vic­tors of light.
