LyicsOFT in sorrow, oft in woe,
Onward, Christian, onward go;
Fight the fight, maintain the strife,
Strengthen'd 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 pow'r?
Let your drooping heart be glad;
March, in heav'nly armor clad;
Fight, nor think the battle long;
Soon shall vict'ry 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,
