1 We are going forth to the world's great field,
'Mid the cry of war resounding;
We are going forth with sword and shield,
And our cheerful hearts are abounding.

Chorus:
We are youthful Christian soldiers:
Christ leads on before us,
With Him we fight,
For truth and right,"
Till swells the victor's chorus.

2 We are going forth in the joy of youth,
On each brow the light of morning;
We are lifting up the torch of truth,
And a holy cause adorning. [Chorus]

3 We are going forth thro' the hosts of wrong,
Fling before us bold defiance;
For our Captain gives the victor's song,
And He is our firm reliance. [Chorus]

4 We are going forth in Jehovah's might,
As a faithful world-wide legion;
We are holding high His flag of right,
To the earth's remotest region. [Chorus]
