[Verse 1]
Oft in sorrow, oft in woe
Onward, Christian, onward go
Fight the fight, maintain the strife
Strengthened with the Bread of life

[Verse 2]
Let your drooping hearts be glad
March in heavenly armor clad
Fight, nor think the battle long
Victory soon shall be your song

[Verse 3]
Let not sorrow dim your eye
Soon shall every tear be dry
Let not fears your course impede
Great your strength, if great your need

[Verse 4]
Onward then in battle move
More than conquerors ye shall prove
Though opposed by many a foe
Christian soldiers onward go
