Representative Text

1 Cristo, nuestro Jefe, nos lleva a la lid;
nunca termeremos si él nos dice, "Id".
Aún su justa causa se suele ignorar,
mas le seguiremos fiel.

Coro:
Adelante es la orden del Señor;
adelante vamos sin temor.
"Adelante" canta ya su grey;
la victoria es cierta con el Rey.

2 Nuestro estandarte luce por doquier,
con poder y gloria siempre se ha de ver.
Cristo nuestro Jefe al mundo ya venció
y le seguiremos fiel. [Coro]

3 La furiosa lucha larga no será,
y a los vencedores nos congregará,
Donde cantaremos un himno triunfal;
sí, le seguiremos fiel. [Coro]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
