Lyrics

We are march­ing home­ward with the blest,
To that bright, bright world above;
Where our friends are gone and are at rest,
In that world of light and love.

Refrain

Marching home, march­ing home;
We are march­ing home­ward with the blest.
Marching home, march­ing home;
We are march­ing home to rest.

Jesus stands and beck­ons to us now,
As we fal­ter on the way;
He will save us, if to Him we bow,
Who rules both night and day.

Refrain

Our dear Sav­ior has pre­pared the way,
Where we all who will may come;
If we serve Him tru­ly day by day,
He at last will bring us home.
