Text: | Looking Unto Jesus |
Author: | Warren Randolph Yeakel |
Tune: | [Forward, Christian soldier, forward] |
Composer: | Powell G. Fithian |
1 Forward, Christian soldier, forward,
Following where Jesus trod;
He our Captain and our Savior,
He our Leader and our God.
Chorus:
We will put Christ’s armor on,
We are girt about with truth;
And with helmet, sword, and shield,
This the watchword of our youth—
“Looking unto Jesus.”
2 With the shield of faith before us,
We will wage an holy war,
‘Gainst the pow’r of sin and Satan,
We will conquer more and more. [Chorus]
3 With the sword the Spirit wieldeth,
We will watch and fight and pray,
Trusting in our glorious Captain,
We will surely win the day. [Chorus]
4 If foul sin our armor tarnish,
Surely then will come defeat;
Let us keep it bright and glist’ning,
For the Master’s use made meet. [Chorus]
5 Onward, upward, like good soldiers,
We will truth and right defend
Till we come unto his Kingdom
Where all conflict has an end. [Chorus]
