Avante, servos de Jesus
Avante, servos de Jesus, por nosso Deus;
Nas trevas brilhe vossa luz, a luz lá dos céus.
Coro
Glória a Deus, pois vencerei,
Glória a Deus, pois vencerei,
Triunfante sigo, levando a cruz!
Glória a Deus, pois vencerei,
Glória a Deus, pois vencerei,
Em nome de Jesus!
Levanta ,Josué pendão. com mui valor;
E o inimigo foge, então, com grande pavor.
Sai com trezentos Gideão, a combater;
Os midianitas logo vão a guerra perder.
Golias mui soberbo está, zomba de Deus.
Mas vem Davi, e nele dá, com ajuda do céu.
Cerrai fileiras, ó fiéis, sempre avançai;
No céu coroas e lauréis, Jesus vai nos dar.
Forward, servants of Jesus
Forward, servants of Jesus, for our God;
Let your light shine in the darkness, the light from heaven above.
Chorus
Glory to God, for I will overcome,
Glory to God, for I will overcome,
Triumphant I go, carrying the cross!
Glory to God, for I will overcome,
Glory to God, for I will overcome,
In the name of Jesus!
Joshua raises the banner with great courage;
And the enemy flees, then, in great fear.
Gideon goes out with three hundred to fight;
The Midianites will soon lose the battle.
Goliath is very proud, mocking God.
But here comes David, and with the help of heaven, he defeats him.
Close ranks, O faithful, always advance;
In heaven, crowns and laurels, Jesus will give us.
