1 We are marching on to a bright and happy land,
Where the saints and angels evermore shall stand
Round the throne of God, in a holy, happy band,
Singing, glory to the Lamb.

Refrain:
Then, come and join us, come and join our happy band,
For with Jesus by our side, on our journey He will guide
To the bright and happy land.

2 We will fight for Jesus as on our way we go,
In the battle front we will fight against the foe;
And a crown our Savior upon us will bestow,
In the bright and happy land. [Refrain]

3 Come and join our ranks, and for glory make a start,
Leave the world and sin, come and with us take a part;
In the song of vict’ry we’ll sing with voice and heart,
Hallelujah to the Lamb. [Refrain]
