We march, we march to victory

Meter: Irregular Appears in 216 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: We march, we march to victory, With the Cross of the Lord before us, With His loving Eye looking down from the sky, And His Holy Arm spread o'er us, His Holy Arm spread o'er us. 1 We come in the might of the Lord of Light In marshall'd train to meet Him; And we put to flight the armies of night, That the sons of the day may greet Him, The sons of the day may greet Him. We march, we march to victory, With the Cross of the Lord before us, With His loving Eye looking down from the sky, And His Holy Arm spread o'er us, His Holy arm spread o'er us. 2 The bands of the Alien flee away When our chant goes up like thunder, And the van of the Lord in serried array, Cleaves Satan's ranks asunder. We march, we march to victory, With the Cross of the Lord before us, With His loving Eye looking down from the sky, And His Holy Arm spread o'er us, His Holy arm spread o'er us. 3 Our sword is the Spirit of God on High, Our helmet His Salvation; Our banner the Cross of Calvary, Our watchword--THE INCARNATION. We march, we march to victory, With the Cross of the Lord before us, With His loving Eye looking down from the sky, And His Holy Arm spread o'er us, His Holy arm spread o'er us. 4 He marches in front of His banner unfurl'd, Which He raised that His own might find Him; And the Holy Church throughout all the world Fall into rank behind Him. We march, we march to victory, With the Cross of the Lord before us, With His loving Eye looking down from the sky, And His Holy Arm spread o'er us, His Holy arm spread o'er us. 5 And the choir of Angels with songs awaits Our march to the golden Sion; For our Captain has broken the brazen gates, And burst the bars of iron. We march, we march to victory, With the Cross of the Lord before us, With His loving Eye looking down from the sky, And His Holy Arm spread o'er us, His Holy arm spread o'er us. 6 Then onward we march, our arms to prove, With the banner of Christ before us, With His eye of love looking down from above, And His Holy Arm spread o'er us. We march, we march to victory, With the Cross of the Lord before us, With His loving Eye looking down from the sky, And His Holy Arm spread o'er us, His Holy arm spread o'er us. Amen.

Hell to-day is vanquished: Heaven is won today! 5 Thou, of Life the Author, death didst undergo, Tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show; Come, then, True and Faithful, now fulfil Thy word, 'Tis Thine own Third Morning! Rise, O buried Lord! "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say. 6 Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan's chain; All that now is fallen raise to life again; Show Thy Face in brightness, bid the nations see; Bring again our day-light; day returns with Thee!
