Representative Text

1 Marching on in the light of God,
Marching on, I am marching on;
Up the path that the Master trod,
Marching, marching on.

Refrain:
A robe of while, a crown of gold,
A harp, a home, a mansion fair,
A victor’s palm, a joy untold,
Are mine when I get there.

Refrain:
For Jesus is my Saviour, he’s washed my sins away,
Died for me on Calvary’s mountain;
I’m happy in his wondrous love, singing all the day,
I’m living, yes, I’m living in the fountain.

2 Marching on through the hosts of sin,
Victory’s mine while I’ve Christ within.

3 Marching on in the Spirit’s might,
More than conqueror in every fight.

4 Marching on with the flag unfurled,
Preaching Christ to a dying world.
