New lyrics for a hymn

My daughter belongs to Job's Daughters. They almost always close their meetings with the hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers".

I have always loved the music for this song. The words however, I find extremely offensive.So, keeping in mind that this is a girls group, is my first verse.

I do claim copyright in the words.

Forward faithful daughters, walking on towards peace.
To the future adventures, go we forth to live.
Parents, guardians, friends, hand in hand we go
Many different cultures, all as one in peace.

Forward faithful daughters, walking on towards peace.
To the future adventures, go we forth to live.
