If you know Maxwell’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
We are marching to that land,
Happy land so fair,
Where we’ll see our blessèd Lord some day;
In that land of peace and love,
Free from pain and care,
With the Savior we shall dwell for aye.
Refrain
March along with a song,
To that bright, beautiful shore;
There we’ll sing to the King,
Safe at home forevermore.
March along to glory land,
Always living right,
Trusting in the Lord to lead the way;
In His tender, loving care,
Walking in the light,
Going to a land of endless day.
Refrain
Jesus bids us follow on,
Al the blessèd way,
If we want to live with Him up there;
Won’t it be a happy time,
When we hear Him say,
March into the city bright and fair
?
