Onward March

1 In the battlefield of life,
Junior, take thy place;
When thy foes before thee rise
Meet them face to face.

Chorus:
Onward march! onward march!
Cross of Christ thy sign;
Forward march! forward march!
Vict'ry shall be thine.

2 Raise thy banner high and free,
Christ shall lead thee on,
Safe thro' all the storm of war,
Till the vict'ry's won. [Chorus]

3 Clad in armor of the Lord,
Ready for the foe,
Shield and breast-plate strong and sure,
Onward, Christian, go! [Chorus]

4 See, thine enemies approach,
Armies of the world!
Meet them bravely, meet them well,
With thy flag unfurled! [Chorus]

5 Onward, Christian, for the war,
Join the noble fight;
Christ shall lead the army forth,
Battle for the right! [Onward]
