49. Going to the Front

1 Following the King before us,
Marching in his light,
Learning how to fight
For the truth and right;
With love’s banner waving o’er us,
And our armour bright,
We are going to the front.

Chorus:
There to fight
With our might
For the right,
We are going to the front.

2 Free from trouble, care and sadness,
Happy here below,
Singing as we go,
Fearing not the foe,
Thanking Jesus for the gladness
Which today we know,
We are going to the front. [Chorus]

3 Well assured that he will guard us,
Guide us and defend,
Strength and courage lend,
When our own we spend;
And assured that he’ll reward us
When the fight shall end,
We are going to the front. [Chorus]
