210. Lift Your Heads

1 Lift your heads, O ye gates, lift them up on high;
Christ our Lord lives again, nevermore to die;
Far and near, ev’rywhere, let the message fly,
While we are marching on.

Refrain:
Marching on, marching on,
Easter sunbeams shine,
Marching on, marching on, sing of pow’r divine;
Living hopes, living joys, shall be yours and mine,
While we are marching on,
While we are marching on.

2 Tell the world wondrous news, ye who love His name;
Endless life, thro’ His grace, to all men proclaim;
Jesus lives, Jesus saves, evermore the same,
While we are marching on. [Refrain]

3 Jesus reigns, Lord of all, come and serve the King!
To His cross, to His crown, fresh allegiance bring;
With His hosts, ransomed hosts, let our praises ring,
While we are marching on. [Refrain]
