The Cyber Hymnal ‎#16865

16865. In the Highway of the King (Clark)

1 We are march­ing on­ward, march­ing day by day;
Walking in the sun­shine on our hap­py way;
Jesus is our cap­tain, in Him we con­fide;
He our foot­steps ev­er faith­ful­ly will guide.

Refrain:
We have heard the call of Je­sus,
And we rally un­to Him; all of self to Him we bring;
We are march­ing ’neath His ban­ner;
We are march­ing in the high­way of the King.

2 We are march­ing on­ward, at our lead­er’s call;
By our gleam­ing swords shall ev­ery foe­man fall;
Thro’ our lov­ing Savior, we have strength to fight,
Marching on to vic­to­ry, con­qu’ring for the right. [Refrain]

3 We are march­ing on­ward, to our home on high,
Where the ran­somed host shall ga­ther by and by;
Let not cour­age fal­ter, ban­ish ev­ery fear;
Clouds are dis­ap­pear­ing, vic­to­ry is near. [Refrain]
