The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4169

4169. March on to Victory

1. Enlisted in the Christian ranks,
A faithful soldier be,
And side by side with loyal ones
March on (march on) to victory.

Refrain
March on (march on) to victory,
March on (march on) to victory;
Beneath the banner of the Lord
March on (march on) to victory (march on).

2. The conflict may be hard and long,
But triumph is assured,
And Heaven holds a rich reward
For tri(trials) als here endured. [Refrain]

3. Relying on the Lord of Hosts,
March on to conquer sin,
And to your Leader gladly bear
Each trophy that you win. [Refrain]

4. The joy of conquest will be yours,
When you have overcome,
And after warfare, rest and peace
Await (await) in God’s bright home. [Refrain]
