We are marching on

- We are marching on, with shield and banner bright;
- We will work for God, and battle for the right;
- We will praise His name, rejoicing in His might,
- And we'll work till Jesus calls.
- From the youthful ranks our army we prepare,
- As we rally round our blessèd standard here;
- And the Saviour's cross we early learn to bear,
- While we work till Jesus calls.
- We are marching on: our Captain, ever near,
- Will protect us still, His gentle voice we hear:
- Let the foe advance, we'll never, never fear,
- For we'll work till Jesus calls.
- Then awake, awake, our happy, happy song;
- We will shout for joy, and gladly march along;
- In the Lord of hosts let ev'ry heart be strong,
- While we work till Jesus calls.
- We are marching on the strait and narrow way,
- That will lead to life and everlasting day,
- To the smiling fields, that never will decay:
- But we'll work till Jesus calls.
- We are marching on, and pressing t'wards the prize,
- To a glorious crown beyond the glowing skies,
- To the radiant fields where pleasure never dies,
- And we'll work till Jesus calls.
