Go Forward

Author: William H. Clark Hymnal: Light and Life Songs #70 (1904) First Line: Go forward, is the great command Refrain First Line: It is the captain's great command Lyrics: 1 Go forward, is the great command; The threat’ning dangers all will yield To them with earnest heart and hand, Who mean to die or win the field. Chorus: It is the captain’s great command, Go forward, and the land possess; Lo, I will be at thy right hand, To aid, defend, to guide and bless. 2 The clouds may darken and obscure The path that leads to victory; Yet form that path, if naught allure, Thou shalt emerge triumphantly. [Chorus] 3 Go forward, e’en tho’ mountains rise And interpose their forms sublime; Scale thou their summits, and thine eyes Shall see from thence that brighter clime. [Chorus] 4 If ocean’s wild, tempestuous gales Dash angry waves against thy bark, With steady helm and well-trimmed sails, Go forward still straight to the mark. [Chorus] 5 Tho’ prospects all be blasted quite, Tho’ friends desert, and hopes decay, Beyond the darkest clouds there’s light; Go forward, and behold the day. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Go forward, is the great command]
