Press forward, O Soldiers

Verse 1

Press forward, O soldiers, with banner and shield; The Lord is our helper, the world is our field; With courage advancing, our strength in Hi might, Let this be our watchword: ‘For God and the right.’

Chorus

Then stand for the right, Firmly stand for the right; And this be our watchword: ‘For God and the right.’

Verse 2

Move forward, O soldiers, be loyal and true, Whatever the trials keep Jesus in view; His steps let us follow, and walk in His light, And this be our watchword: ‘For God and the right.’

Verse 3

Though legions of darkness may rally their pow’rs, Though fierce be the conflict, the day shall be ours; God’s arm is our refuge; we’ll trust in His might, While marching to battle for ‘God and the right.”
