Author: Jennie Wilson Hymnal: The Service of Praise #127 (1900) First Line: Hark to the tread of the children’s army Refrain First Line: Marching along, marching along Lyrics: 1 Hark to the tread of the children’s army,
Look on the youthful, and bright-fac’d throng,
Hastening forward with eager footsteps,
Marching the highways of time along.
Refrain:
Marching along, marching along,
Led by the King we are singing our song;
Marching along, marching along,
Marching the highway of time along.
2 Over the children unfurl the banner
Of the dear Master who loves them all;
Teach them to follow where he would lead them,
Ready to answer his ev’ry call. [Refrain]
3 Train’d for the Master, the children’s army
Strong in the service divine will be,
Over the foes they must meet in conflict,
Jesus will give them the victory. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Hark to the tread of the children’s army]
