Crowning Day No. 3 ‎#66

66. Onward March to Victory

1 Christian soldiers, on life’s rugged road,
Onward marching to the King’s abode,
Never falter tho’ the way be long,
‘Neath His banner, lift your voice in song.

Refrain:
Onward march to victory!
Jesus died to set us free;
Trust His love whate’er betide,
He our steps will safely guide.

2 Onward, soldiers, there are foes to face,
Sins to conquer ere we win the race;
Just beyond us lies the promised land,
Don your armor, heed the King’s command. [Refrain]

3 Christ our Captain leads us all the way,
Onward, soldiers, to the gates of day;
Storms and battles soon will aye be past;
We may wear the victor’s crown at last. [Refrain]

4 Still advancing, there is nought to fear,
Jesus loves us, He is ever near;
Ever striving souls to garner in
For the Master, we a crown shall win. [Refrain]
