1. Forward, forward!
Forward go, for the Lord is with thee,
He is thy life, thy light, thy joy;
Forward, forward!
Forward go, for the Lord is with thee,
Mighty thy foes to destroy.
Chorus:
Heralds of the gospel,
(Heralds of the gospel, Heralds of the gospel,)
Messengers of mercy,
(Messengers of mercy, Messengers of mercy,)
Children of the kingdom,
(Children of the kingdom, Children of the kingdom,)
High the colors of Zion show;
Followers of Jesus,
(Followers of Jesus, Followers of Jesus,)
Armies of Jehovah,
(Armies of Jehovah, Armies of Jehovah,)
Church of God triumphant,
(Church of God triumphant, Church of God triumphant,)
Rise and forth to the vict’ry go.
(forth to the vict’ry go.)
Forward, forward!
Forward, ye brave hearts,
Forward, ye true hearts at His word;
Forward, ye heroes,
Forward, ye conq’rors for the Lord.
2. Forward, forward!
Forward go, for the morn is breaking,
Swiftly fly away;
Forward, forward!
Forward go, for the King in splendor
Rises and conquers the day.
