Up! all ye Christ­ian sol­diers,
Get rea­dy for the fray!
Now hast­en on your ar­mor,
And come with­out de­lay;
’Tis time that you were march­ing,
’Tis near the break of day,
The Sav­ior is your cap­tain,
He will lead the way.

Refrain

Onward! Up­ward! Let the watch­word be;
Forward! for­ward! On to vic­to­ry!
We’ll press the cause of Je­sus,
Press on for­ev­er­more;
We’re fight­ing for the Mas­ter
Who has gone be­fore.

Tho’ toil and strife await you,
March bold­ly to the fight;
You’re in the path of safe­ty
When bat­tling for the right;
Then, do not be dis­cour­aged,
But strive with faith and might;
The Sav­ior is your cap­tain,
He will guide you right.

Refrain

Go, battle till you con­quer
Like sol­diers, brave and true;
Go take the world for Je­sus,
As Chris­tians ought to do;
Then on­ward! be your mot­to,
And up­ward! be your view,
The Sav­ior is your cap­tain,
He will bring you thro’.
