Sheet music

  1. 1Oft in sorrow, oft in woe,Onward, Christian, onward go;Fight the fight, maintain the strife,Strengthened with the bread of life.Onward, Christian, onward go;Join the war, and face the foe.Will you flee in danger’s hour?Know you not your Captain’s pow’r?
  2. 2Let your drooping heart be glad;March in heav’nly armor clad;Fight, nor think the battle long:Soon shall vict’ry tune your song.Let not sorrow dim your eye:Soon shall ev‘ry tear be dry;Let not fears your course impede:Great your strength, if great your need.
