The Jewel ‎#46

46. Sunday School Volunteer Song

1 We are marching on with shield and banner bright,
We will work for God and battle for the right,
We will praise his name rejoicing in his might,
And we’ll work till Jesus calls.
In the Sunday School our army we prepare,
As we rally round our blessed standard there,
And the Saviour's cross we early learn to bear,
While we work till Jesus calls.

Refrain:
Then awake, then awake,
Happy song, happy song,
Shout for joy, shout for joy,
As we gladly march along.
We are marching onward, singing as we go,
To the promis'd land where living waters flow;
Come and join our ranks as pilgrims here below,
Come & work till Jesus calls.
