Refrain: Onward to fields of glory, singing as we go, Telling the old, old story, ready for the foe; Onward to fields of glory, faith and love prevail; Out on the field of battle, right cannot fail. 2 Joyful songs are ringing, hearts are filled with love, Living in the vict’ry that awaits us up above; Serving our Commander, at his beck and call, Knowing he will safely guide us, one and all. [Refrain] 3 Tho’ the foe advancing comes with mighty tread, We will never falter with his banner overhead; Trusting in his goodness, marching in his love, Following our footsteps to our home above.
