Marching Along With Banner and Song

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Jeremiah 46:22

Verse 1

Marching along with banner and song, We are coming bright as the day; Hope like an angel scatters her flow’rs O’er our happy way; Marching along, marching along, Voices blending, hearts full of glee; Love and beauty, smiling o’er us, Crown our jubilee.

Chorus

Marching along with banner and song, Lightly, quickly bounding away; Marching along, our Sunday school army Welcome a joyful day.

Verse 2

Friends who behold us gathered once more, See our numbers, mark how they grow; Led by the Saviour lovingly on, Forward still we go; Marching along, marching along, This our watchword, Trust in the Lord; If we bear His standard nobly, Great is our reward.

Chorus

Marching along with banner and song, Lightly, quickly bounding away; Marching along, our Sunday school army Welcome a joyful day.

Verse 3

Marching along with banner and song, Straight before us, keep in the line Where our Commander leadeth us on; There His light will shine; Keep in the line, keep in the line, Marching, marching, marching along; May our Saviour find us ever Loyal, brave and strong.

Chorus

Marching along with banner and song, Lightly, quickly bounding away; Marching along, our Sunday school army Welcome a joyful day.
