1 Stand for the right, strong in his might!
Loyal hearts with gladness forward pressing;
Faithful, obey his will alway,
Thanking God each day for ev’ry blessing.

Refrain:
Loyal hearts and true, march on,
Forward in the narrow way;
Lifting up his cross, march on,
Follow Jesus day by day.

2 Onward with song, conquer the wrong,
Follow now the Captain of salvation;
Thro’ toil and pain, thro’ loss and gain,
Tell his love to ev’ry tribe and nation. [Refrain]

3 Steadfast and true, willing to do,
March along, the conflict will be glorious;
Tumults shall cease, rest come with peace,
Soon the cross of Christ will be victorious. [Refrain]
