Author: Laurence Tuttiett Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #440 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Call to Service Lyrics: 1 Go forward, Christian soldier,
Beneath His banner true:
The Lord Himself, thy Leader,
Shall all thy foes subdue.
His love foretells thy trials;
He knows thine hourly need;
He can, with bread of heaven
Thy fainting spirit feed.
2 Go forward, Christian soldier,
Fear not the secret foe;
Far more o'er thee are watching
Than human eyes can know.
Trust only Christ, thy Captain;
Cease not to watch and pray;
Heed not the treacherous voices,
That lure thy soul astray.
3 Go forward, Christian soldier,
Nor dream of peaceful rest,
Till Satan's host is vanquished,
And heaven is all possessed;
Till Christ Himself shall call thee
To lay thine armor by,
And wear, in endless glory
The crown of victory.
AMEN. Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE
Go Forward, Christian Soldier
