114. Marching On, Rejoicing

1 Marching on, rejoicing,
Happy songs ascend;
Many voices mingle,
Many praises blend;
We are serving Jesus,
His Endeavor Band;
By his grace he's call'd us,
In his name we stand.

Chorus:
Marching on, rejoicing, marching on;
Marching on, rejoicing,
Happy songs ascend;
Marching on, rejoicing,
Marching on, marching on;
Many voices mingle,
Many praises blend.

2 Marching on, rejoicing,
In life's morning hour,
On his help relying,
Trusting in his power;
Ever pressing onward,
Lift the standard high,
Stepping upward daily,
Follow to the sky. [Chorus]

3 Marching on, rejoicing,
Those who've gone before,
Looking down from glory,
Call us evermore;
Ours is now the battle,
Now the course we run;
Blessed Saviour, keep us
Till the crown is won. [Chorus]
