Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity
of the Cyber Hymnal Website
|
Words: Henry Kirke White (1785-1806) and Frances S. Fuller-Maitland. This hymn came to light only after White's death, when it was found among his unpublished papers. In 1827, it was revised by Fuller-Maitland and included in a volume of hymns. Fuller-Maitland was only 14 years old at the time.
Music: "Eighmey," William Henry Pontius (1844-1908) |

Oft in sorrow, oft in woe,
Onward, Christian, onward go:
Fight the fight, maintain the strife
Strengthened with the Bread of life.
Onward Christians, onward go,
Join the war, and face the foe;
Faint not: Much does yet remain,
Dreary is the long campaign.
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?
Let your drooping hearts be glad:
March in heavenly armor clad:
Fight, nor think the battle long,
Victory soon shall be your song.
Let not sorrow dim your eye,
Soon shall every tear be dry;
Let not fears your course impede,
Great your strength, if great your need.
Onward then in battle move,
More than conquerors ye shall prove;
Though opposed by many a foe,
Christian soldiers onward go.
