March On, March On
Author: Ella Sophia Bulley Armitage Appears in 26 hymnals First Line: March on, march on, ye soldiers true Refrain First Line: March on, march on, ye soldiers true Lyrics:
1 March on, march on, ye soldiers true
In the cross of Christ confiding,
For the field is set, and the hosts are met,
And the Lord His own is guiding;
Thro’ the earth’s wide round, we the tidings sound
Of the Lord who came from Heaven;
Of the mighty hope that with death can cope,
And the love so freely given.
Refrain:
March on, march on, ye soldiers true,
In the cross of Christ confiding,
For the field is set, and the hosts are met,
And the Lord His own is guiding.
2 We march to fight with the pow’rs of night,
That hold the world in sorrow;
And the broken heart shall be healed of its smart,
And arise to a joyful morrow;
O’er the realms of night shall our standard bright
Arise, their darkness clearing;
And souls that were dead to the Lord who bled,
Shall revive at His glad appearing. [Refrain]
3 O so long is the fight, but the God of light
Is ever watching near us;
And the prayers that rise to the listening skies
Like a song of hope shall cheer us;
Till the sunrise broad of the day of God
Shall shine on the Victor’s glory;
And earth at rest, in her Lord confessed,
Shall rejoice in the finished story. [Refrain]
