Text:Oft in danger, oft in woe

41. Oft in danger, oft in woe

1 Oft in danger, oft in woe,
Onward, Christian, onward go!
Fight the fight, maintain the strife,
Strengthened with the bread of life.

Chorus:
Onward, onward to glory!
Yield not to the wily foe;
Vict'ry and heaven are before thee,
Shout your triumph as you go,

2 Let not sorrow dim thine eye,
Soon shall every cheek be dry;
Let not fears thy course impede,
Great thy strength if great thy need. [Chorus]

3 Let thy drooping heart be glad,
March in heavenly armor clad;
See, the Captain leads the way,
Onward, Christian, win the day. [Chorus]

4 Onward, then, to glory move,
More than victor thou shalt prove;
Still through danger, toil, and woe,
Christian soldier, onward go. [Chorus]
