Calvary Songs ‎#130e

130e. The children are gathering from near and from far

1 The children are gathering from near and from far,
The trumpet is sounding the call for the war;
The conflict is raging, 'twill be fearful and long,
We'll gird on the armor, and be marching along.

Refrain:
Marching along, we are marching along,
Gird on the armor and be marching along;
Our leader is Jesus, he bids us be strong,
Then gird on your armor and be marching along.

2 The foe is before us in battle array,
But let us not waver nor turn from the way,
The Lord is our strength, be this ever our song,
With courage and faith we are marching along. [Refrain]
