Author: Henry K. White; Frances S. Colquhoun Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #479 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:12 Lyrics: 1 Oft in danger, oft in woe,
Onward, Christians, onward go,
Fight the fight, maintain the strife,
Strengthened with the Bread of Life.
2 Onward, Christians, onward go,
Join the war, and face the foe;
Faint not: much doth yet remain;
Dreary is the long campaign.
3 Shrink not, Christians: will ye yield?
Will ye quit the painful field?
Will ye flee in danger's hour?
Know ye not your Captain's pow'r?
4 Let your drooping hearts be glad;
March, in heav'nly armor clad;
Fight, nor think the battle long;
Vict'ry soon shall tune your song.
5 Let not sorrow dim your eye,
Soon shall ev'ry tear be dry;
Let not woe your course impede,
Great your strength, if great your need.
6 Onward then to battle move;
More than conqu'rors ye shall prove:
Though opposed by many a foe,
Christian soldiers, onward go.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life The Christian Warfare; Courage; Perseverance Languages: English Tune Title: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
