Chorus: We’ll never say fail, No, never say fail; We’re marching on to victory, Thro’ Christ we shall prevail; We’ll never say fail, No, never say fail; The army of the Sunday School Must never say fail. 2 We’re marching on the winning side, A joyful company, Wherever Christ our Captain leads, His soldiers true must be; Come join the ranks he cannot spare A single volunteer, For ev’ry nation, tribe, and tongue, His gospel must hear.
