Showers of Blessing ‎#22

22. Marching On to the Kingdom

1 See the host of redeemed ones advancing,
Rolling on like a great, mighty flood;
Shield and sword in the sunlight are glancing,
As they march to the kingdom of God!

Refrain:
Marching on, marching on to the kingdom,
With banner, with shout and with song,
The redeemed of ev’ry land,
A triumphant, happy band,
Marching on to the kingdom of God.

2 At the head of this army victorious
There is One who can know no dismay;
For his march is both onward and glorious,
And triumphant, eternal his sway! [Refrain]

3 Lo! the kingdom of Satan is falling,
And shaken the power of his sway,
For the millions that sin was enthralling,
Are joining the victors today. [Refrain]
