Sunshine No. 2 ‎#64

64. Forward March

1 Lift the King’s own standard in the field today,
Loyal soldiers of the Cross;
Onward into battle, now the call obey,
Ye shall never suffer loss.

Refrain:
Forward march,
Forward march,
Oh, plant the banner of the Cross,
Over moor and dale,
Over hill and vale,
It shall never suffer loss.

2 Christ, our royal Captain, conquers ev’ry foe,
Love and courage must prevail;
Where His banner leads you onward gladly go,
With His sword ye cannot fail. [Refrain]

3 Lift the royal standard in the field today,
Charge, O soldiers of the King;
When the war is over as you march away,
Songs of vict’ry you shall sing. [Refrain]
