Author: R. Torrey, Jr. Hymnal: Kind Words #40 (1871) Hymnal Title: Kind Words First Line: Soldiers on life's battlefield! Lyrics: 1 Soldiers on life's battle-field!
Be ye valiant, bold, and strong;
In the strife with cheerful zeal,
Urge the Saviour's cause along.
Chorus:
Onward, onward to glory!
Yield not to the wily foe;
Vict'ry and heav'n are before thee,
Shout your triumph as you go.
2 Hark! the battle is begun!
Rally, Christians, for your King;
Forward, till the vict'ry's won,
Till the shouts of triumph ring! [Chorus]
3 Jesus calls us to the field!
He will lead us evermore;
'Neath his banner ne'er to yield,
Till the mighty conflict's o'er. [Chorus]
4 Then in yonder world of light,
We will lay our armor down;
And, 'mid throngs of angels bright,
Each receive a starry crown. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: LIFE'S BATTLE-FIELD
Onward, onward to glory!
