Original text and translations

English text

1  March on, my soul, with strength, March forward, void of fear; He who hath led will lead, While year succeedeth year; And as thou goest on thy way, His hand shall hold thee day by day. 2  March on, my soul, with strength, In ease thou dar'st not dwell; High duty calls thee forth; Then up, and quit thee well! Take up thy cross, take up thy sword, And fight the battles of the Lord!

3  March on, my soul, with strength, With strength, but not thine own; The conquest thou shalt gain Through Christ thy Lord alone; His grace shall nerve thy feeble arm, His love preserve thee safe from harm. 4  March on, my soul, with strength, From strength to strength march on; Warfare shall end at length, All foes be overthrown. Thou, O my soul, if faithful now, The crown of life awaits thy brow.
