Tune:[A youthful host advances]
Composer:E. S. Lorenz

170. Forward March

1 A youthful host advances
Along the King’s highway;
With banners brightly gleaming,
They joyful march today.

Refrain:
Forward march! Forward march!
Heart and hand to Christ they bring;
Forward march! Forward march!
Glad to serve their King!

2 Long years ago he blest them,
The Savior ever dear;
So now they gladly follow
Whene’er his call they hear. [Refrain]

3 A youthful host advances,
O turn them not aside;
There’s room for all the children,
The world is very wide. [Refrain]
