To their home on high. Journ'ying o'er the desert, Glad-ly thus we

pray,

REFRAIN

And with hearts u- nit - ed, Take our heav'nward way. Brightly gleams our ban-ner,

Point-ing to the sky, Waving on Christ's sol-diers To their home on high. A-men.

502 WE MARCH TO VICTORY Irregular

JOSEPH BARNBY

4 4

(J=94) We march, we march to vic - to- ry, With the cross of the Lord be-fore us,

4

With His loving eye looking down from the sky, And His holy arm spread o'er us,

His holy arm spread o'er us. We

come in the might of the Lord of Light,

His arm

In rev'rent train to meet Him: And we put to flight the

armies of night,

That the sons of the day may greet Him, The sons of the day may greet Him.

CHORUS.

We march, we march to vic - to - ry,

With the cross of the Lord be-fore us,

With His loving eye look-ing down from the sky, And His holy arm spread

2 Our sword is the Spirit of God on high,
Our helmet is His salvation,
Our banner, the Cross of Calvary,
Our watchword, the Incarnation.
We march, we march, etc.

3 And the choir of angels with song awaits
Our march to the golden Zion;

For our Captain has broken the brazen gates,
And burst the bars of iron.

We march, we march, etc.

4 Then onward we march, our arms to prove,
With the banner of Christ before us,
With His eye of love looking down from above,
And His holy arm spread o'er us.

5 We march, we march to victory!

With the cross of the Lord before us,

With His loving eye looking down from the sky,
And His holy arm spread o'er us. Amen.

FRANCES R. HAVERGAL

(J=108) On our way re-joicing as we homeward move, Hearken to our prais-es,

O Thou God of love! Is there grief or sad-ness? Thine it can- not be!

(May be sung to Hermas, No. 518)

2 If with honest-hearted love for God and man,
Day by day Thou find us doing what we can,

Thou Who giv'st the seed-time wilt give large increase,
Crown the head with blessings, fill the heart with peace.
On our way rejoicing, etc.

3 On our way rejoicing gladly let us go;

Conquered hath our Leader, vanquished is our foe!
Christ without, our safety, Christ within, our joy;
Who, if we be faithful, can our hope destroy?
On our way rejoicing, etc.

4 Unto God the Father joyful songs we sing;
Unto God the Saviour thankful hearts we bring;
Unto God the Spirit bow we and adore,
On our way rejoicing now and evermore!
On our way rejoicing, etc. Amen.

504 MARION, NEW 6.6.8.6 With Refrain

4

(J=100) Rejoice, ye pure in heart! Rejoice, give thanks and sing!

[ocr errors][ocr errors]

Your glo rious banner wave on high; The cross of Christ your King!

2 Bright youth, and snow-crowned age,
Strong men and maidens meek:
Raise high your free, exulting song!
God's wondrous praises speak!

3 With all the angel choirs,

With all the saints of earth,
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
True rapture, noblest mirth!

4 Your clear hosannas raise,

And alleluias loud!

Whilst answering echoes upward float,
Like wreaths of incense cloud.

5 Yes, on through life's long path!
Still chanting as ye go;

From youth to age, by night and day,
In gladness and in woe.

6 Still lift your standard high!
Still march in firm array!

As warriors through the darkness toil,
Till dawns the golden day!

7 At last the march shall end;
The wearied ones shall rest;
The pilgrims find their Father's house,
Jerusalem the blest.

8 Then on, ye pure in heart!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing!
Your glorious banner wave on high,
The cross of Christ your King! Amen.
