With cour­age strong, we’ll march along,
Christ’s ban­ner ev­er float­ing o’er us;
With pur­pose true His will to do
We’ll van­quish ev­ery foe be­fore us.

Refrain

Forward march! Strong and stea­dy!
Forward march! Ev­er rea­dy!
Never doubt, ne­ver fear,
God with help is ev­er near!
Forward march! God di­rects us!
Forward march! He pro­tects us!
In the hour of need help will ap­pear.

With loy­al heart, we’ll do our part,
To speed the com­ing day of glad­ness,
When right­eous­ness shall come to bless
And ban­ish sin, and death and sad­ness.

Refrain

With faith­ful will His ranks to fill,
We’ll tell with you the pre­cious sto­ry,
Till all the earth shall know His worth,
And wor­ship low the King of glo­ry.

Refrain

We’ll know no fear with Je­sus near,
He com­forts, strength­ens and pro­tects us.
We can­not fail, we must pre­vail,
For in the bat­tle He di­rects us.
