    Song 97

    Forward, You Ministers of the Kingdom!

    (2 Timothy 4:5)

    1. Go forward in preaching the Kingdom

    To people in ev’ry land.

    With love in your hearts for your neighbor,

    Help meek ones to take their stand.

    Our service to God is a priv’lege;

    His word we are glad to proclaim.

    Go out in the field and keep preaching;

    Give witness to God’s holy name.

    (CHORUS)

    Forward, boldly preach the

    Kingdom message ever far and wide.

    Forward, faithful, loyally remaining

    on Jehovah’s side.

    2. True ministers keep pressing forward

    With God’s prize of life in view.

    We follow the steps of our Master

    With hearts that have been made new.

    The good news of God’s coming Kingdom

    Is something that all need to hear.

    We preach in the strength of Jehovah;

    With him there is nothing to fear!

    (CHORUS)

    Forward, boldly preach the

    Kingdom message ever far and wide.

    Forward, faithful, loyally remaining

    on Jehovah’s side.

    3. Together we press ever forward,

    God’s remnant and other sheep.

    The old and the young men and women

    In step with the truth do keep.

    Our service we hold to be sacred;

    Our worship is never routine.

    To God may we prove ever worthy

    By conduct that’s holy and clean.

    (CHORUS)

    Forward, boldly preach the

    Kingdom message ever far and wide.

    Forward, faithful, loyally remaining

    on Jehovah’s side.
