Christ, Our Mighty Captain
Christ, our mighty Captain, Leads against the foe, We will never falter when He bids us go; Tho' His righteous purpose We may never know, Yet we'll follow all the way.
Forward! forward! 'tis the Lord's command Forward! forward! to the promised land; Forward! forward! let the chorus ring We are sure to win with Christ, our King.
Satan's fearful onslaughts cannot make us yield While we trust in Christ, our Buckler and our shield Buckler and our shield Pressing ever on the spirits sword we wield, And we follow all the way.
Forward! forward! 'tis the Lord's command Forward! forward! to the promised land; Forward! forward! let the chorus ring We are sure to win with Christ, our King.
Let our glorious banner ever be unfurled From its mighty stronghold evil shall be hurled; Christ, our mighty Captain, overcomes the world, And we follow all the way.
Forward! forward! 'tis the Lord's command Forward! forward! to the promised land; Forward! forward! let the chorus ring We are sure to win with Christ, our King.
Fierce the battle rages, but 'twill not be long, Then triumphant shall we join the blessed throng; Joyfully uniting in the victor's song, If we follow all the way.
Forward! forward! 'tis the Lord's command Forward! forward! to the promised land; Forward! forward! let the chorus ring We are sure to win with Christ, our King.
