13729. With Footsteps Firm

1 With footsteps firm and courage strong,
And Jesus as our guide,
We’ll march to war and victory,
For no harm can betide.

Refrain:
We’ll march to war,
With Christ our guide,
We’ll march to war,
We’ll march to victory.
We’ll march to war,
With Christ our guide,
We’ll march to victory
With Jesus as our guide,
We’ll march to war and victory.

2 Too long have sin and Satan held
Their sway o’er God’s own earth,
Too long His kingdom has but been
The land of want and dearth. [Refrain]

3 But now we will go forth and wrest
The prize from Satan’s might,
With hosts of Heaven on our side,
We’ll surely win the fight. [Refrain]

4 And when at last the battle done,
And Christ victorious stands,
O’er all His ransomed earth will God
Extend protecting hands. [Refrain]
