Christian Endeavor Edition of Sacred Songs No. 1 ‎#253

253. Go Bravely Forth

1 Go bravely forth to battle
Ye soldiers of the Lord,
Fear not, for ye shall conquer
Through His almighty word.

Refrain:
Then bravely forth to battle,
In this, God’s holy strife,
And he that overcometh,
Shall gain the crown of life.

2 The Lord Himself will lead you,
Shall arm you for the fight,—
‘Gainst every foe sustain you,
And shield you by His might. [Refrain]

3 Leave not the path of duty,
And none can bring you harm,
For God to shield His faithful,
Makes bare His mighty arm. [Refrain]

4 And, though his “name is legion,”
The foe shrinks back with shame,
Before the feeblest Christian
Who fights in Jesus’ name. [Refrain]
