Representative Text

1 Go forward, go forward, in Jesus’ conqu’ring name;
Go forward, go forward, your hearts with love aflame;
Before us are the hosts of sin,
Our Captain must the conflict win,
And now, above the battle’s din,
We hear His word: Go forward!

Refrain:
Go forward! go forward!
The order is today!
The Lord needs you, be strong and true,
And in His name go forward!

2 Go forward, go forward, this is His day of pow’r;
Go forward, go forward, this is His triumph hour;
Let ev’ry true man answer: Here!
Let courage triumph over fear,
For now a ringing call we hear,
The Captain’s call: Go forward: [Refrain]

3 Go forward, go forward, where’er His colors fly;
Go forward, go forward, to dare and do, or die;
Along the far-flung battle line
We see our Captain’s colors shine,
Our strength is needed, yours and mine;
The call today is: Forward! [Refrain]
