Battling for the Right

Ada Blenkhorn • English

Primary Scripture: Jeremiah 50:22

Verse 1

Pressing forward our cause to win, Conqu’ring ever the hosts of sin, God’s strong arm we are trusting in, Battling for the right.

Chorus

Forward all! let our watchword be, Let it echo from sea to sea, In His strength we shall victors be, Battling for the right.

Verse 2

Pressing on ‘neath the noontide’s glow; Caring not when the rough winds blow, Pausing not till the foe lies low, Battling for the right.

Chorus

Forward all! let our watchword be, Let it echo from sea to sea, In His strength we shall victors be, Battling for the right.

Verse 3

Pressing forward, a fearless band, Always under the Lord’s command, Till as victors we take our stand, Battling for the right.

Chorus

Forward all! let our watchword be, Let it echo from sea to sea, In His strength we shall victors be, Battling for the right.
