The day of victory's coming, 'tis coming by and by

Author: James Conner Bateman (1855-88) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #810 (1986) First Line: March on, salvation soldiers Lyrics: 1 March on, salvation soldiers, March forward to the fight, With Jesus as our leader, We’ll put the foe to flight; In spite of men and devils We’ll raise our banner high, For the day of victory’s coming by and by. Refrain: The day of victory’s coming, ‘tis coming by and by, When to the cross of Calvary all nations they will fly; We’re soldiers in the Army, we’ll fight until we die, For the day of victory’s coming by and by. 2 Hell’s forces may be mighty, A strong opposing band, Yet never be discouraged, For Jesus boldly stand; With blood and fire we’ll conquer, Our every foe defy, For the day of victory’s coming by and by. 3 Though some would try to crush us, We’re rising every day, And soon o’er every land and sea Our flag shall have the sway; Salvation free to all men Shall be our battle cry, For the day of victory’s coming by and by.
