1 Forward marching, wave your banners high,
Glad hosannas sing, praises to the King;
Onward ever, victory is nigh,
To the Christ your trophies bring.

Refrain:
Forward, forward, in his name we go;
True and loyal, march against the foe;
Forward, forward, glad hosannas sing,
Waving high the banner of the heav’nly King.

2 Forward marching in the narrow way,
To the promised land, at the Lord’s command;
Jesus leads us, we shall win the day,
If for truth and right we stand. [Refrain]

3 Forward marching, stepping into line,
Hear the stirring call, rally one and all;
Show your colors, give the counter sign,
While into the ranks you fall. [Refrain]
