Oft in sorrow, oft in woe, Onward, Christians, onward go ! Fight the fight, maintain the strife, Strengthened with the Bread of Life.
2. Onward, Christians, onward go ! Join the war, and face the foe : Will ye flee in danger's hour ?---- Know ye not your Captain's power ?
3. Let your drooping hearts be glad, March, in heavenly armour clad : Fight, nor think the battle long ; Soon shall victory tune your song.
4. Let not sorrow dim your eye, Soon shall every tear be dry ; Let not tears your course impede, Great your strength, if great your need.
5. Onward then to glory move, More than conquerors ye shall prove : Though opposed by many a foe, Christian soldiers, onward go !
