Hymn 417
Christ, our mighty Captain
- 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.
Forward! forward! 'tis the Lord's command
Forward! forward! to the promised land;
Forward! forward! let the chorus ring
We are sure to win with Christ, our King.
- Satan's fearful on-slaughts 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
- Let our glorious banner ever be unfurled
From its mighty stronghold evil shall be hurled;
Christ, our mighty Captain, overcomes the world.
And we follow all the way.
- Fierce the battle rages, but 'twill not be long,
Then triumphant shall we join the blessed throng;
Joyfully uniting in he victor's song.
If we follow all the way.
Christly Living
