Representative Text

1 In the strength of the Lord we will go,
With our face ever turned to the foe,
We will never, never yield,
With salvation as our shield,
In the strength of the Lord we will go.

Refrain:
Marching on, marching on,
To the happy land of Canaan, bright and fair,
When the Captain calls his own,
To the mansions ‘round the throne,
Praise his name! Hallelujah! we’ll be there.

2 In the arm of the Lord we will trust,
He is righteous and mighty and just;
We will never, never fail,
For our Captain will prevail,
In the arm of the Lord we will trust. [Refrain]

3 In the cause of the Lord we will win,
In the conflict of right over sin;
We will never, never fall,
For our King is over all,
In the cause of the Lord we will win. [Refrain]
