Onward, soldiers ! onward to-day ! Christ our Leader calls us away ; Quickly hasten forth to the field ; March with sword and shield.
" Forward, forward ! " thus saith the Lord, Fear not, faint not, trust in His Word ; He will guard us, He will defend, Till the strife shall end.
2. Onward, soldiers ! make no delay ; Hear the orders, hear and obey ; On to victory, on let us go, Braving every foe.
3. Onward, soldiers ! on for the right, Let our banners wave in the light ; Soon the victor's song we will sing, " Praise to God our King."
