1 March on, my soul, with strength,
March forward, void of fear;
He who has led will lead,
Through each succeeding year;
And as you journey on your way,
His hand shall hold you day by day.
2 March on, my soul, with strength,
In ease you dare not dwell;
Your Master calls you forth;
Then up, and serve Him well!
Take up your cross, take up your sword,
And fight the battles of your Lord!
3 March on, my soul, with strength,
With strength, but not your own;
The conquest you shall gain,
Through Christ your Lord alone;
His grace shall power your feeble arm,
His love preserve you safe from harm.
4 March on, my soul, with strength,
From strength to strength march on;
Warfare shall end at length,
All foes be overthrown.
And then, my soul, if faithful now,
The crown of life awaits your brow.
