Onward! Christian Warriors

Verse 1

Onward! O Christian Warriors, Where’er the trumpet calls; Onward! the Leader summons, Beyond the shelt’ring walls; Onward! the work awaits you, Fear not the cold world’s frown, Arm for the glorious conflict, Then wear the victor’s crown.

Verse 2

Onward! with loving purpose, Where crime and sorrow reign; Onward! like men in earnest, Onward! with heart and brain; Onward! to save the erring, To break the bonds of sin; Onward! the lost to rescue, Gems for Christ’s crown to win.

Verse 3

Onward! the battle thickens; The Captain’s signal see; Onward! to deeds of glory, Onward! to victory; Onward! with God assisting, Like soldiers true and brave, Till o’er the conquered fortress, Salvation’s banner waves.
