1 Oft in sorrow, oft in woe,
Onward, Christians, onward go;
Bear the toil, maintain the strife,
Strengthened with the Bread of Life.
Onward, Christians, onward go;
Bear the toil, maintain the strife,
Strengthened with the Bread of Life.
2 Let not sorrow dim your eye,
Soon shall every tear be dry;
Let not woe your course impede,
Great your help, if great your need.
Soon shall every tear be dry;
Let not woe your course impede,
Great your help, if great your need.
3 Let your drooping hearts be glad;
March, in heavenly armor clad;
Fight, nor think the battle long;
Victory soon shall tune your song.
March, in heavenly armor clad;
Fight, nor think the battle long;
Victory soon shall tune your song.
