LyicsOFT in sorrow, oft in woe,
Onward, Christian, onward go;
Fight the fight, maintain the strife,
Strengthened with the bread of life.
Onward, Christian, onward go;
Join the war, and face the foe.
Will you flee in danger's hour?
Know you not your Captain's power?
Let your drooping heart be glad;
March, in heavenly armor clad;
Fight, nor think the battle long:
Soon shall victory tune your song.
Let not sorrow dim your eye:
Soon shall every tear be dry;
Let not fears your course impede:
Great your strength, if great your need.
