Lyrics

Like an ar­my we are march­ing,
In the ser­vice of the Lord;
Marching on­ward to the vic­t’ry
He has pro­mised in His Word.

Refrain

Marching, march­ing,
Marching brave and strong;
Like an ar­my we are march­ing,
While we sing our hap­py song.

Like an ar­my we are march­ing,
With our ban­ners, day by day;
Looking ev­er un­to Je­sus,
Trusting Him to guide our way.

Refrain

Like an ar­my we are march­ing,
Many tri­als tho’ we meet;
We shall count them naught but bless­ings,
When we rest at Je­sus’ feet.
