Verse 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. Verse 2: Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love Him, One day to 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!
