1 Brave Christian soldiers, gallantly marching,
Joyful and bright, O sing all the way!
Gird on your armor, gird on your armor,
Jesus is leading and you must obey.

Refrain:
Cheerfully marching, faithfully marching,
Jesus will lead you all the bright way,
Joyfully singing, heartily singing,
Lift up your hearts to your Saviour today.

2 Your Captain loves you, tenderly loves you,
Kindly He speaks to all here today;
Lift up your voices, glad anthems raising,
He will be with you and point out the way. [Refrain]

3 March, valiant soldiers, onward to glory,
Hearts ever happy, hearts ever brave;
Jesus will guide you, vic’try awaits you,
Jesus is leading and Jesus can save. [Refrain]
