Surely, something more than common is at hand; Multitudes of people pass, ’Tis a mighty, moving mass, Moved by pow’r that’s more than mortal to command. Refrain: Forward, forward are they marching, As the years still come and go; As they’re marching hear them sing, “We are following our King, He’s our Leader and no other will we know.” 2 Eighteen hundred years and more, Land to land, from shore to shore, With the King of glory always in the lead; Through the fire and through the blood Persecution’s awful flood Thins their ranks, but still they onward do proceed. [Refrain] 3 Through the darkness, through the light, Through twelve hundred years of night, But the morning of the day doth now appear; See the mighty blood-washed throng, Marching on with shout and song, The full day of final vict’ry draweth near. [Refrain] 4 Through the dark and cloudy day They’re still marching on their way, See their numbers are increasing more and more; The three days and half are past, Light sublime has come at last— ’Tis revealing that the cloudy day is o’er. [Refrain] 5 Now they’ve reached the evening light, Clothed in robes of snowy white, Still they’re marching on to certain victory; Satan’s hosts they now defy, “God has conquered!” hear them cry, As they reach the borders of eternity.

Refrain: We are in the evening of the dispensation day, And the gospel light has scattered all the night away; On the sunny mountain where the melody of song Floats upon the breezes as we swiftly pass along. 2 But she raised her banner high, And did all her foes defy, Over her the gates of hell have not prevailed; For her forces multiplied, Notwithstanding those who died, In the martyr’s flames her glory was revealed.[Refrain] 3 Now the evening time has come, When the brightness of the sun, Through the gospel shining in remotest land; It will reach the distant isles, Where the golden harvest smiles, To be gathered while the Savior’s near at hand.
