138. The Leader that We Love

1 On and on with our Redeemer we are marching day by day,
Fearing not the foe before us, ever ready for the fray;
While the sunshine of his presence keeps the shadows all away,
We are following the Leader that we love.

Refrain:
Marching on, ever on and on
To that blessed promised land above;
Marching on, ever on and on,
We are following the Leader that we love.

2 Many battles are before us, many burdens yet to bear,
But we know that every trial Jesus willingly will share;
So, with faith that will not waver, ready all to do and dare,
We are following the Leader that we love. [Refrain]

3 Often times, when tempests sweep us and our souls are sorely prest,
We might weary of the journey, we might long for home and rest,
But whatever may befall us we shall surely stand the test,
For we’re following the Leader that we love. [Refrain]
