There's a work to do Refrain First Line: Forward, while the bells of peace are ringing Lyrics: 1 Forward, forward! There’s a work to do; Work that calls for valiant hearts, steady hands and true; Forward, forward! Trusting in His name, Who to rescue fallen souls, down from heaven came. Refrain: Forward, while the bells of peace are ringing, Forward, while the gospel trumpet calls; Forward, forward, forward! bravely singing, Till we join the song beyond the jasper walls. 2 Forward, forward! Lift the standard high; Blessed banner of the cross, victory is nigh; Forward, forward! In our Savior’s might, Overcoming ill with good, scattering the night. [Refrain] 3 Forward, forward! Go in tender love, Speaking helpful words of cheer, pointing souls above; Forward, forward! Ring it out anew, There are starry crowns to win, there’s a work to do.
