65. Onward, Soldiers

1 Onward, soldiers, to the conflict,
Send the word along the line,
We will never lose a battle,
If we put our trust in Him.

Refrain:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
We are soldiers of the cross,
And our captain’s name is Jesus,
We will never suffer loss.

2 We are fighting Satan’s forces,
Many thousand strong are they,
But we’ll surely gain the vict’ry,
If our Lead we obey. [Refrain]

3 Faith in Jesus is our watchword,
Grace He’ll give in time of need,
Strength for ev’ry day and conflict,
And our souls on manna feed. [Refrain]

4 Christian soldiers, true and loyal
To the Lord we’ll ever be.
And we’ll follow where He leadeth,
While we sound the jubilee. [Refrain]
