Lyrics

March on, march on,
With stead­fast heart and strong!
March on, march on,
With joy­ous song!
Rejoice, re­joice,
For vic­to­ry will be won!
Let loy­al­ty the watch­word be,
March on, march on!

Refrain

For we are march­ing, march­ing,
’Neath the ban­ner bright,
Then for­ward press, His name con­fess,
Till vic­to­ry’s won!
For we are march­ing, march­ing,
Valiant in His might;
Let loy­al­ty the watch­word be,
March on, march on!

March on, march on,
Our cap­tain leads the way!
March on, march on, His word obey!
Rejoice, re­joice, in Him, the royal Son!
Then heed His call, press for­ward all,
March on, march on!

Refrain

March on, march on,
Falter not nor fear!
March on, march on,
Our king is near!
Rejoice, re­joice,
Soon war­fare will be done!
To Him be true, our strength re­new,
March on, march on!
