1 Never turn back when the soul has enlisted
Under the banner of Jesus the King;
Stand by the colours determined to conquer,
Bravely go forward, exultingly sing.

Refrain:
Marching to glory, marching to glory,
Faith is our victory, our weapon "The Word."
Marching to glory, marching to glory,
Christ our Commander, Christ our Lord!

2 Never turn back though the world may allure you,
Tempting the heart from its duty aside.
Look to your armour, be ready for battle;
Follow the steps of your Captain and Guide. [Refrain]

3 Never turn back for the check of a moment;
What are the strifes and the toils of a day?
When, for the brow of the valiant and faithful,
Waiteth a crown that will "fade not away!"
