Exalted Praise ‎#181

181. Glorious Victory

1 We are pilgrims bound for Canaan,
Where the milk and honey flow;
Where are corn and wine abounding,
And the rose and lily grow.
Oh, our hearts are filled with gladness
For we leave behind our woe;
And with hearts that thrill with courage
We will onward go.

Refrain:
Then on to victory,
On to victory,
On to victory we’ll onward go,
Then on to victory,
Glorious victory,
On to victory we’ll onward go.

2 God Himself is leading onward
To that bright and happy land;
And a fire awakes within us
At the sound of His command.
With a shout for God and glory
Let us charge the mighty foe;
And as God shall give us power,
Let us onward go. [Refrain]

3 Praise the Lord, the shout of triumph
Now is sounding o’er the land,
For the Lord is giving victory
Unto His chosen band.
Yet we must complete the conquest,
Leaving not a single foe—
Not a foe to mar its glory,
Let us onward go. [Refrain]
