Lyrics

Marching up the nar­row way,
Marching up the King’s high­way,
With our foot­steps in the right,
We’ll take the world by faith and might.
Christ, our cap­tain, leads the host,
He is ev­er at His post.
And with cour­age true and strong
We’ll con­quer ev­ery wrong.

Refrain

March, march, march, stea­di­ly march, march on,
March, march, march, un­til the vic­to­ry is won;
March, march, march, led by the Gos­pel light,
Strong in His strength of might,
March on, march on.

Every day on ev­ery side
Subtle ene­mies abide,
But with sword and shield of truth,
We’ll sure­ly tri­umph in our youth.
When our war­fare here is done,
And our crown of vic­to­ry won,
We shall lay our arms aside
And with our king abide.

Refrain
