| 1. | "Forward!" be our watchword, |
| | Steps and voices joined; |
| | Seek the things before us, |
| | Not a look behind; |
| | Burns the fiery pillar |
| | At our army's head; |
| | Who shall dream of shrinking, |
| | By our Captain led? |
| | Forward through the desert, |
| | Through the toil and fight. |
| | Heaven's Kingdom waits us, |
| | Forward into light. |
| 2. | Glories upon glories |
| | Hath our God prepared, |
| | By the souls that love Him, |
| | One day that be shared: |
| | Eye hath not beheld them, |
| | Ear hath never heard; |
| | Nor of these hath uttered |
| | Thought or speech or word; |
| | Forward, marching forward |
| | Where the kingdom's bright, |
| | Till the veil be lifted, |
| | Till our faith be sight! |
