The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#64

64. Marching in the Sunlight

1 Happy faces turning now to Zion,
Cheered with the smile of the gospel light,
We are marching, step by step advancing,
Waving aloft our banners bright;
Marching, marching, see our youthful army;
Marching, marching, in the narrow way;
Marching, marching, trusting our Redeemer;
Marching in the sunlight day by day.

Refrain:
Marching in the sunlight,
Marching along with hearts full of song;
Waving now our banners so bright,
And cheered by the gospel light.

2 We are marching thro’ the world together,
Strong in the Lord our shield and guide;
Thro’ temptation He will ever lead us,
He will defend whate’er betide;
Marching, marching, youthful voice blending;
Marching, marching, singing all the way;
Marching, marching, praising our Redeemer;
Marching in the sunlight day by day. [Refrain]

3 We are marching toward the holy city,
Warring against the hosts of sin;
Marching, praying, toiling for the Master,
Bearing the cross our crown to win;
Marching, marching, see our growing numbers;
Marching, marching, in the blessed way;
Marching, marching, on to life and glory;
Marching in the sunlight day by day. [Refrain]
