Author: J. H. Johnston Hymnal: Bible Study Songs #51 (1899) First Line: Courage, soldiers, courage! Forward, march away! Refrain First Line: Courage, courage, tho' the foe be strong Lyrics: 1 Courage, soldiers, courage! Forward, march away!
Face the foes that threaten, Do not dare delay.
Fight the battle bravely, Christ is watching near,
Under this Commander you have naught to fear.
Chorus:
Courage, courage, tho' the foe be strong,
Forward, ever forward, march against the wrong;
Onward, onward, trusting as you go,
Jesus goes before you as you face the foe.
2 Courage, youthful soldiers! See, upon your path,
Envy, pride, and hatred, Selfishness and wrath;
Speedily they gather, ready for the fight,
Meet them and defeat them in the Saviour's might. [Chorus]
3 Fight the giant evils, Never pause or shrink;
Fight the love of money, Fight the love of drink.
March against them boldly, put the foe to flight,
Take the gospel armor and defend the right. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Courage, soldiers, courage! Forward, march away!]
