March on, O soul, with strength

Like those strong men of old Who 'gainst enthroned wrong Stood confident and bold; Who, thrust in prison or cast to flame, Still made their glory in Thy Name. 2 The sons of fathers we By whom our faith is taught To fear no ill, to fight The holy fight they fought: Heroic warriors, ne'er from Christ By any lure or guile enticed. 3 March on, O soul, with strength, As strong the battle rolls! 'Gainst lies and lusts and wrongs, Let courage rule our souls: In keenest strife, Lord, may we stand, Upheld and strengthened by Thy hand. 4 Not long the conflict: soon The holy war shall cease, Faith's warfare ended, won The home of endless peace! Look up! the victor's crown at length! March on, O soul, march on, with strength! Amen. Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT

Keep her faith in simple manhoood Strong as when her life began, Till it find its full fruition In the brotherhood of man. Amen. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
