1. Forward, men and brothers!
Hear the Savior’s call!
Countless souls are waiting,
There is work for all;
Shall we linger idly
While the days pass on?
God and angels beckon;
Forward, every one!
Refrain
Forward, men and brothers!
Hear the Savior’s call!
Countless souls are waiting,
There is work for all.
2. Ours a royal standard,
Ours a glorious strife,
Winning men from evil
To a holy life;
Jesus Christ the Captain,
Faith in Him our shield;
Hasten forward, brothers,
Till sin’s bulwarks yield! [Refrain]
3. Courage, falter never,
In Christ’s strength be strong;
Now the strife and danger,
Now the triumph song;
Strike the shackles quickly,
With the mighty sword;
Forward, men and brothers,
Conquer by His Word! [Refrain]
