Author: Rev. Henry Alford Hymnal: The Hymnal #369 (1950) Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service; Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 "Forward!" be our watchword, Steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind: Burns the fiery pillar At our army's head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our Captain led? Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight; Jordan flows before us, Zion beams with light! 2 Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers, Where our God abideth; That fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river, Shedding joys untold. Thither, onward thither, In the Spirit's might; Pilgrims to your country, Forward into light! 3 To th' eternal Father Loudest anthems raise, To the Son, and Spirit, Echo songs of praise, To the Lord of glory, Blessed Three in One, Be by men and angels Endless honor done. Weak are earthly praises, Dull the songs of night: Forward into triumph, Forward into light! Amen. Tune Title: FORWARD
