Pass the word along the line › Representative Texts

1 Pass the word along the line,
Tell it friend to friend;
Christ our captain goes before,
Leads us to the end—
He who all the danger knows,
All the strength of all our foes,
Christ our Lord and friend.

Refrain:
Forward, then, where Jesus leads!
Full of hope and cheer;
Bear the standard of the cross!
Who shall faint or fear?

2 He who goes where Jesus leads,
Never goes astray;
He who Jesus’ order heeds,
Always gains the day;
He who falters not shall be
Led to glorious victory,
By a glorious way. [Refrain]

3 Pass the word along the line;
Lo! the promised land
Ye shall enter and possess,
By His mighty hand.
Courage, then! Ye must not fail,
Strongest foes cannot prevail:
Jesus has command. [Refrain]
