1 Forward, soldiers, bold and fearless,
Hear the call of God;
Prove your courage in the conflict,
Tread where brave men trod.

Refrain:
Lift aloft the cross of Jesus,
Hold it high and strong;
Shout the name of Him who saves us,
Swell the battle song.

2 Faith our shield, and hope our helmet,
Satan’s hosts we face;
Marshaled in the might of Jesus,
Win we by His grace. [Refrain]

3 Heed the order of our captain,
Wield the Spirit’s sword;
Onward, fearless, press to conquer,
Slaying by His Word. [Refrain]

4 They shall share the glad Hosanna,
Who on Him believe;
They shall ’neath His royal banner
Crowns of life receive. [Refrain]
