Refrain: Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

[Refrain] 3 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out all human hearts before his judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on.

While God is marching on. [Refrain] Scripture: Ezekiel 21:14-15 Used With Tune: BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

I take, content, what he hath sent; his hand can turn my griefs away, and patiently I wait his day. 3 Whate'er my God ordains is right: though now this cup, in drinking, may bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it, all unshrinking. My God is true; each morn anew sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, and pain and sorrow shall depart. 4 Whate'er my God ordains is right: here shall my stand be taken; though sorrow, need, or death be mine, yet am I not forsaken. My Father's care is round me there; he holds me that I shall not fall: and so to him I leave it all. Scripture: Genesis 18:25 Used With Tune: WAS GOTT TUT
