This hymn came to light only after White&#8217;s death, when it was found among his unpublished papers. In 1827, it was revised by Fuller-Maitland and included in a volume of hymns. Fuller-Maitland was only 14 years old at the time.

<div class="lyrics">
<p>Oft in sorrow, oft in woe,<br>
Onward, Christian, onward go:<br>
Fight the fight, maintain the strife<br>
Strengthened with the Bread of life.</p>
<p>Onward Christians, onward go,<br>
Join the war, and face the foe;<br>
Faint not: Much does yet remain,<br>
Dreary is the long campaign.</p>
<p>Shrink not, Christians will ye yield?<br>
Will ye quit the painful field?<br>
Will ye flee in danger&#8217;s hour?<br>
Know ye not your Captain&#8217;s pow&#8217;r?</p>
<p>Let your drooping hearts be glad:<br>
March in heavenly armor clad:<br>
Fight, nor think the battle long,<br>
Victory soon shall be your song.</p>
<p>Let not sorrow dim your eye,<br>
Soon shall every tear be dry;<br>
Let not fears your course impede,<br>
Great your strength, if great your need.</p>
<p>Onward then in battle move,<br>
More than conquerors ye shall prove;<br>
Though opposed by many a foe,<br>
Christian soldiers onward go.</p>
