The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#537

537. From Age to Age They Gather

1 From age to age they gather,
all the brave of heart and strong.
In the strife of truth with error,
of the right against the wrong;
I can see their gleaming banner,
I can hear their triumph song;
The truth is marching on!

Refrain:
Glory! glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

2 "In this sign we conquer!"
’tis the symbol of our faith,
Made holy by the might of love
triumphant over death;
"He finds his life who loseth it,"
forevermore it saith:
The right is marching on! [Refrain]

3 The earth is circling onward
out of shadow into light;
The stars keep watch above our way,
however dark the night;
For every martyr’s stripe there
glows a bar of morning bright;
And love is marching on! [Refrain]

4 Lead on, O cross of martyr faith,
with thee is victory;
Shine forth, O stars and reddening dawn,
the full day yet shall be;
On earth His kingdom cometh,
and with joy our eyes shall see,
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]

AMEN.
