Hymn 825

Christ our mighty captain, leads against the foe

Meter: 11.11.11.11. & Ref.

1

Christ our mighty captain, leads against the foe,

We will never falter, when he bids us go;

Tho’ his righteous purpose we may never know,

Yet we’ll follow all the way.

CHORUS

Forward forward tis the Lord’s command,

Forward forward to the promise land;

Forward forward let the chorus ring

We are sure to win with Christ our king.

2

Satan’s fearful onslaughts cannot make us yield

While we trust in Christ, our buckler and our shield

Pressing ever on the spirits sword we wield,

And we follow all the way.

3

Let our glorious banner ever be unflured

From its mighty stronghold evil shall be hurled;

Christ, our mighty captain, Overcomes the world,

And we follow all the way.

4

Fierce the battle rages, but ‘twill not be long,

Then triumphant shall we join the blessed throng,

Joyfully uniting in the victor’s song

if we follow all the way.
