The Voice of Praise ‎#40

40. On to Victory

1 Jesus is calling!
Forth to the fray,
In line be falling,
Serve him today;
Follow him ever,
Call no retreat;
His solders never
Suffer defeat.

Chorus:
On to vict'ry
follow your mighty Commander,
On to vict'ry,
follow where Jesus may go;
On to vict'ry,
close to your shield and defender;
On to vict'ry,
conquering ev'ry foe.

2 He needs you, brother,
Do thou his will,
Your place no other
Ever can fill;
Gird on the armor,
Take up the sword,
Join your Commander,
Follow your Lord. [Chorus]

3 Morning is coming,
Night will be past,
Soon will the dawning
Break in at last;
Then with the morning,
Glorious and bright,
Rich crowns adorning,
Victors of light. [Chorus]
