HYMN 581
H.C 357 11s (FE 608)
Tune: 11s
1. ONWARD Seraphim Band, marching as to war
Lift on high victory sword, ‘gainst satan and sin
Almighty conqueror, hath conquered for us
Amidst num‐ber-less foes, be not afrightened
Do the will of the Lord, like the saints of old
God who hark to Abrah'm
Shall hark to our plea.
2. Onward Cherubim Band, marching as to war
Walls of Jericho fell, for the sacred songs
Marching from strength to strength,
spoils of war to stock
Onward! marching-onward ever
amidst countless scuffs
Do the will of the Lord, like the saints of old
God who hark to Moses, shall hark to our plea.
3. Forget not His powers on Pharaoh the King
Forget not His victory amidst the red sea
Cloudly pillar at the dawn, beam of fire at dusk
To defend and shield them away from effects
of foes
Do the will of the Lord, like the Saints of old
God who hark to Joshua, shall hark to our plea.
4. Father, God, Provider, shall our needs provide
Forget not His mercies in the wilderness
Water for the thirsty, sourceth from the Rock
Meat for the hungered provi‐deth all
manna and Quails
Do the will of the Lord, like the Saints of old
God who hark to Daniel, shall hark to our plea.
5. Forward ever marching, amidst temptations
Ceaselessly praying on, thou shall victory earn
Our protection repose on the strength of God
Forget not Saints Shadrack, Meshach
and Abednego
Do the will of the Lord, like the Saints of old
God who heard Elijah, shall hark to our plea.
6. Seraphim here below, fe-li-ci-ta-ting
Cherubim here below, fe-li-ci-ta-ting
Feast of God in heaven above we shall all partake
Won in fellowship with the martyrs
Praising God above
Do the will of the Lord, like the Saints of old
The Holy Trinity, shall hark to our plea. Amen
