116. A Shout of Victory

1 March on, march on, follow the mighty Commander;
March on, march on; Jesus our Captain and Lord;
March on, march on; see that your steps never falter,
March on, march on, heeding his ev’ry word.

Refrain:
There’s a song that blends with prayer,
There’s a shout upon the air;
‘Tis a song of grace so free,
‘Tis a shout of victory.

2 March on, march on; joyfully singing, hosanna;
March on, march on; fighting the battle of faith;
March on, march on; manfully bearing his banner,
March on, march on, faithful e’en unto death. [Refrain]

3 March on, march on; still by his might overcoming;
March on, march on; singing his glory and grace;
March on, march on; till in the heavenly palace,
March on, march on, we shall behold his face. [Refrain]
