Light and Life Songs No. 2 ‎#41

41. Onward March

1 We’re enlisted in the army of our Savior and our King,
Of His power and His majesty we evermore will sing;
We have buckled on the armor, and we’re going forth to war;
Hear the trumpet sound of battle ringing out from shore to shore.

Chorus:
Onward march to victory,
Just before the foe we see;
‘Neath the blessed blood-stained banner of the cross of Calvary,
We are going forth to conquer, singing songs of victory.

2 With the helmet of salvation and the Spirit’s piercing sword,
We must follow our Commander and obey Him and His word;
By the shield of faith protected from the enemy are we,
And our Savior goes before us, leading on to victory. [Chorus]

3 By the Pentecostal power of the blessed Holy Ghost,
We shall gain a mighty vict’ry over Satan and his host;
When the final fight is over, we will lay our armor down,
And from Jesus, our Commander, then receive a starry crown. [Chorus]
