1.Christ, our mighty Captain, leads against the foe;We will never falter when He bids us go;Tho' His righteous purpose we may never know,Yet we'll follow all the way.Chorus:Forward! forward! 'tis the Lord's command.Forward! forward to the promised land;Forward! forward! let the chorus ring;We are sure to win with Christ our King!2.Let our glorious banner ever be unfurled;From its mighty stronghold evil shall be hurled;Christ, our mighty Captain, overcomes the world,And we follow all the way. [Chorus]3.Fierce the battle rages, but 'twill not be long,Then triumphant shall we join the blessed throng,Joyfully uniting in the victor's song,If we follow all the way. [Chorus]
