16. We Are Marching

1 We’re a band of happy children,
And our Leader true and bold,
Yes, our Leader true and bold,
Is the Prince of that fair country
Just beyond the gates of gold.

Refrain:
We are marching, forward, forward marching,
With our banner bright, our banner bright unfurled;
We are following, following, following our Leader
On to save a dying world.

2 Marching onward, ever onward,
To the land of light afar,
To the light of light afar;
To the fair and glorious city
Just beyond the gates ajar. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ we’re little, we are valiant,
We obey our Captain’s call,
We obey our Captain’s call;
And we’ll halt not in our marching
Till the rebel standards fall. [Refrain]
