Gospel Herald in Song ‎#186

186. We’re Marching Home to God

1 We’re under marching orders, each command we will obey,
When our Captain’s word is given we will boldly step away,
We’re marching up to glory and our Savior leads the way,
We’re marching home to God.

Refrain:
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
As we go marching on!

2 Whene’er our courage falters and the way seems hard and long,
We will press still bravely onward and the way we’ll cheer with song,
We’ll reach the goal in safety for to Jesus we belong,
We’re marching home to God. [Refrain]

3 Some day we’ll cross the river and we’ll reach the golden strand;
We will dwell with Christ, our Savior, in that bright and happy land.
We will shout His praise forever, as before the throne we stand,
We’re marching home to God. [Refrain]
