94. Victory! Victory!

1 Onward we march in Jesus name,
Giving Him all the glory;
Spreading the news of Jesus’ fame,
Telling the old, old story;
Never a moment to lose or waste,
Swift are the hours of the day;
Always our motto is “quick and make haste,”
We must be up and away.

Refrain:
Victory! Victory!
Faith ev’ry hour
On we go! fight the foe!
Not by might nor pow’r;
Comrades, cheer, Christ is near,
Let the banner fly!
Faith in Him is Victory!
Faith our battle cry.

2 On to the front we boldly march,
Until the foe is vanquished;
Nothing to lose and all to gain,
All of our doubt is banished;
Jesus our captain is calling us,
Bidding us not be afraid;
Leading us upward then onward again,
Into the path He has made. [Refrain]

3 Follow the leader, onward go,
Never a tho’t of yielding;
Pushing ahead in the thick of the foe;
Always our weapons wielding;
Cutting the enemy’s ranks in twain,
Lose not a moment the while;
Then when the vict’ry’s won we will go home,
And win from Jesus a smile. [Refrain]
