Author: Rev. Charles Seymour Robinson, 1829-1899 Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #236 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Marching on! marching on! In the ranks of Christ, our King; Through the fears and time of tears— Through the endless chime of years— Through the night into light Where the skies are ever bright— Wave your banners, life hosannas, Shout and sing! shout and sing! For the toil is abating, And the crowns are now waiting, We are glad to be known When the Lord makes us His own. Marching on! marching on! In the ranks of Christ, our King; Through the fears and time of tears— Through the endless chime of years— Through the night into light Where the skies are ever bright— Wave your banners, life hosannas, Shout and sing! shout and sing! 2 Forward go! forward go! As did Israel of old; Where they trod, believing God, Waves were parted with a rod; Manna bright, full and white, Fell around them in the night; Prayers ascended, rocks were rended— Love was bold, grace untold! Still our Lord is commanding, “Forward go!” notwithstanding Mountain rise in the way; For the hills His will obey! Forward go! forward go! As did Israel of old; Where they trod, believing God, Waves were parted with a rod; Manna bright, full and white, Fell around them in the night; Prayers ascended, rocks were rended— Love was bold, grace untold! 3 Trust in God! trust in God! When the calls to duty come; He will see for you and me Paths shall open safe and free. Never fear, God is near, Faithful souls to Him are dear. Christ will meet you; He will greet you,— “Child, come home! child, come home!” Far above earthly valleys Golden gleams heaven’s palace, And we see Jesus there At the portal shining fair! Trust in God! trust in God! When the calls to duty come; He will see for you and me Paths shall open safe and free. Never fear, God is near, Faithful souls to Him are dear. Christ will meet you; He will greet you,— “Child, come home! child, come home!” Topics: Conventions; Hope; Pilgrims; Processional; Rally; Wandering; Warfare Tune Title: SOLDATEN

Charles S. Robinson

1829 - 1899 Person Name: Rev. Charles Seymour Robinson, 1829-1899 Author of "Marching on! marching on!" in The Sunday School Hymnal Robinson, Charles Seymour, D.D., was born at Bennington, Vermont, March 31, 1829, and educated at William College, 1849, and in theology, at Union Seminary, New York (1852-53), and Princeton (1853-55). He became Presbyterian Pastor at Troy, 1855; at Brooklyn, 1860; of the American chapel in Paris (France), 1868; and of the Memorial Presbyterian Church, New York, 1870. During 1876-77 he was editor of the Illustrated Christian Weekly. As an editor of hymn-books he has been most successful. His Songs of the Church were published in 1862; Songs for the Sanctuary, 1865; Spiritual Songs, 1878; and Laudes Domini, A Selection of Spiritual Songs, Ancient and Modern, 1884. His Songs for the Sanctuary has probably had a wider sale than any other unofficial American collection of any denomination, and the Laudes Domini is a book of great excellence. Dr. Robinson has composed a few hymns, including, "Saviour, I follow on" (Following Christ), in his Song of the Church, 1862, and "Isles of the South, your redemption is nearing " (Missions), in his Songs for the Sanctuary, 1865. The latter is given in Dr. Hatfield's Church Hymn Book, 1872, as "Lands long benighted." [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
