Forward, Christian Soldiers

Author: Rev. H. L. Hastings Hymnal: Gems of Song #209 (1901) Lyrics: 1 Forward, Christian soldiers, Thro’ a hostile land; Victory is before you, March with sword in hand; He who, in the desert, Satan’s pow’r o’ercame, Giveth you this victory, Thro’ His wondrous name. Chorus: Forward, Christian soldiers, Thro’ a hostile land; Victory is before you, March with sword in hand. 2 Tho’ the Prince of darkness Girds him for the fight, You may well defy him With the arms of light; Thro’ the gath’ring blackness Flash the gleaming Word; His dark hosts are routed By the Spirit’s sword. [Chorus] 3 Forward, Christian soldiers! Lo, before you lies Yonder goodly country, God’s fair Paradise; Tho’ the foes are many, Who our march withstand, We thro’ Christ are able To possess the land. [Chorus] 4 Forward, Christian soldiers! Watch, and fight, and pray; Clad in God’s whole armor, You shall gain the day; When the war is over, And the vict’ry won, May we hear our Leader Say to us, “Well done!” [Chorus] Topics: Marching; Warfare Languages: English Tune Title: [Forward, Christian soldiers]
