Avante! Avante!

Forward, forward, oh believers!
Soldiers of Jesus!
Raise his banner
Fight for his cross!
Against enemy hosts
Before these crowds
The lofty commander
Directs the battalions

Forward, forward, oh believers!
Fight for Christ!
Wear his armor
March in his power!
Always found on duty
Watching in prayer
Through dangers
Following the Captain!

Forward, forward, oh believers!
With triumphant step!
Today there is a horrendous battle!
Very soon the final peace!
Then, eternally
Blessed be the victor
Victorious by God
With Christ, the Savior!
