50. Marching With Gladness

1 Marching with gladness on our way,
Looking to Jesus day by day,
Trying his wondrous love to show, we onward go;
Marching with gladness, naught to fear,
Jesus our Saviour still is near,
Sweeter, oh, sweeter than music his name we hear.

Chorus:
Marching away, away,
Marching from day to day;
Under his banner, how calm and blest
He maketh his own to rest.

2 Marching with gladness, joy, and song,
Telling of Jesus all day long,
Trying the precious seed to sow, we onward go;
Marching with courage, brave and true,
Keeping the Saviour still in view,
Asking each moment for wisdom and strength anew. [Chorus]

3 Marching in pastures green and fair,
Jesus our Saviour leads us there,
Marching by cooling streams that flow, we onward go;
Marching together, oh, how sweet
Over the river when we meet,
Gather with Jesus forever, our joy complete. [Chorus]
