Hymns We Love, for Sunday Schools and All Devotional Meetings ‎#101

101. Forward! for Christ Our King

1 Marching on together, singing as we go,
Lifting high His banner, facing every foe,
Stepping where He bids us, looking up above
Trusting in a Saviour’s love.

Refrain:
March, march, march, march, forward with rejoicing,
Onward, upward, all our gladness voicing,
March, march, march, march, backward turning never,
Singing, shouting, victory forever.

2 Forward thro’ the sunshine, standing for the right,
In the song of triumph cheerfully unite,
Pressing gladly onward, thro’ the narrow way,
Serving Him from day to day. [Refrain]

3 Shouting loud the watchword, calling no retreat,
Upward we will follow where He guides our feet,
All the world for Jesus, loyally we sing,
Forward! for the Lord our King. [Refrain]
