Oft in danger, oft in woe,

Onward, Christians, onward go;

Fight the fight, maintain the strife,

Strengthened with the Bread of Life.

Let sour drooping hearts be glad;

March in heavenly armour clad;

Fight, nor think the battle long,

Soon shall victory tune your song.

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.

Onward then to battle move,

More than conquerors ye shall prove;

Though opposed by many a foe,

Christian soldiers, onward go.
