On, Marching On

Verse 1

On, marching on, while another year returning Bids us again rejoice; Borne on the breeze, hear the music of the sprint-time Waking every heart and voice.

Chorus

Marching, marching, swell the happy chorus;— Marching, marching, forward still we go; Joy, joy today scatters beauty all around us, Merry streams of gladness flow.

Verse 2

On, marching on, from the Sunday School we gather, Trained for the world’s great field; On, marching on, in the ranks of our Redeemer, He will be our strength and shield.

Verse 3

Still marching on, may our army, ever faithful, Work till our life is done; Then, with the brave in the fields of life eternal, Shout the glorious vict’ry won.
