Hear the tread of com­ing mill­ions
Marching on—the hosts of God;
Coming from the isles and na­tions,
Ransomed by the Sav­ior’s blood.
Hear them shout­ing! Hear them shout­ing!
He hath washed us in His blood!
Hear them shout­ing! Hear them shout­ing!
He hath washed us in His blood!

God His pro­mise is ful­fill­ing
To His well be­lov­èd Son:
Heathen na­tions to Him giv­ing,
For a he­rit­age, His own.
See them com­ing! See them com­ing!
All to wor­ship at His throne,
See them com­ing! See them com­ing!
All to wor­ship at His throne.

Christ is see­ing of the tra­vail
Of His lov­ing, wait­ing, soul,
In the tri­umphs of the Gos­pel
Over men, from pole to pole.
Hear their prais­es! Hear their prais­es!
Like the voice of wa­ters roll,
Hear their prais­es! Hear their prais­es!
Like the voice of wa­ters roll.

Soldiers of the cross, long wait­ing
For the com­ing of this day—
Toiling, weep­ing, watch­ing, pray­ing—
Courage take and march away.
We have tri­umphed! We have tri­umphed!
Soon you’ll hear our cap­tain say,
We have tri­umphed! We have tri­umphed!
Soon you’ll hear our cap­tain say.

When the long re­treat has sound­ed,
And our chief­tain leads the way,
By His con­quer­ing hosts sur­round­ed,
To the realms of end­less day;
Then, how bless­èd! Oh, how bless­èd!
To have fought to win the day,
Then, how bless­èd! Oh, how bless­èd!
To have fought to win the day.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
Hallelujah to the Lamb!
All in earth and all in Hea­ven
Sound the prais­es of His name!
Mighty Sav­ior! Mighty Sav­ior!
We will con­quer in Thy name,
Mighty Sav­ior! Migh­ty Sav­ior!
We will con­quer in Thy name.
