Onward move, ye foll’wers of the Lord,
Trusting in His pow’r, hark’ning to His word;
Gird ye on the Spirit’s mighty sword,
Working out your own salvation.
Refrain
God is faithful, He is working, too,
Of His pleasure, both to will and do;
Now your vow of diligence renew,
Working out your own salvation.
See before, a crown of glory lies,
Run the heav’nly race, reaching for the prize;
Forward facing, mount the starry skies,
Working out your own salvation.
Refrain
Marching on as soldiers of the King,
Let the hills and plains with rejoicing ring;
Ye shall triumph as ye shout and sing,
Working out your own salvation.
Refrain
To yon city bathed in golden light,
City of the King, climb the pathway bright;
Faith shall vanish, turned to blissful sight,
Working out your own salvation.
Refrain
