1 We are valiant soldiers marching on,
We’re marching on, we’re marching on,
In the way our blessed Saviour’s gone;
We’re marching to the better land.
Refrain:
Marching ever onward,
Marching ever onward,
Marching ever onward,
To glorious victory:
With our noble leader, tried and true,
We’re marching on, we’re marching on,
And the cross of Jesus e’er in view;
We’re marching to the better land.
2 With the Gospel banner now unfurled,
We’re marching on, we’re marching on,
Bearing glorious news to all the world;
We’re marching to the better land. [Refrain]
3 Over there in Afric’s sunny land,
We’re marching on, we’re marching on,
And behold, on India’s coral strand;
We’re marching to the better land. [Refrain]
4 Victories in China and Japan,
We’re marching on, we’re marching on,
Europe and America in the vain;
We’re marching to the better land. [Refrain]
