117. Keep Step

1 Keep step, keep step to the army tread,
By the Lord of hosts our Commander led;
Keep step, keep step with the ranks we fill,
Let us all march on, and be faithful still.

Chorus:
Keep step, keep step,
Keep step till the march of life is done;
Keep step, keep step,
Till the victor-crown is won.

2 Keep step, keep step, let our hearts rejoice,
Till we hear the sound of our Leader's voice;
Keep step, keep step where he bids us go,
To the battle front, and defeat the foe. [Chorus]

3 Keep step, keep step to the joyful song
Of the angel choir, as we march along;
Keep step, keep step while their glad harps ring,
And they praise the name of the Lord our King. [Chorus]

4 Keep step, keep step till our feet shall stand
At the pearly gates of the morning land;
Keep step, keep step till we enter there,
And forget our toil in the bliss we share. [Chorus]
