The Tramp of the Host
Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Christian Gospel Hymns #121 (1909) First Line: Like an army we are marching Refrain First Line: Like an army with banners flying Lyrics: 1 Like an army we are marching
Under a banner grand and glorious,
Ev’ry soldier true and loyal
In the service of the King.
Forward ever on to battle,
Following Christ, who goes before us,
With a tramp, tramp, tramp, moving onward,
While the victor’s song we sing.
Refrain:
Like an army with banners flying,
Against the hosts of sin we march, march away!
Souls in bondage of sin are dying;
“They must and shall be free!” rings the war-cry today,
“They must and shall be free!” rings the war-cry today.
2 Sin and error are appalling!
Perishing souls are all around us;
Heathen nations on before us
For the gospel watch and pray.
Nothing daunted, nothing fearing,
Joyfully onward to the rescue,
With a tramp, tramp, tramp, moving onward,
Where our Savior leads the way. [Refrain]
3 Many dangers lie before us,
Wearisome marches, sorrows, losses;
Heavy burdens, lonely vigils
To be kept by day and night;
Yet determined and united,
Sharing alike in cares and sorrows,
With a tramp, tramp, tramp, moving onward,
Upward to the land of light. [Refrain]

=============
For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades.
