Marching On
Author: Chas. H. Gabriel Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.2 #102 (1889) First Line: We are marching on in the army of the Lord Refrain First Line: We’re marching onward to our home Lyrics: 1 We are marching on in the army of the Lord,
We are true and we are faithful to our Captain’s word,
With our flag unfurled we are pressing to the fray,
Praising Jesus as we march away.
Refrain:
We’re marching onward to our home,
No more to weep, no more to roam,
With songs of joy and hearts aglow,
In heav’nly love we onward go,
His voice is calling from above,
In tender tones, in tender love,
He cheers us on, the heav’nly way,
That leads to everlasting day.
2 He will never leave us, He never will forsake
What tho’ legions may oppose, temptations overtake,
With our trust in him we shall never, never fall!
Let us rally at the Captain’s call. [Refrain]
3 Come and join our throng, we will take you by the hand,
Let us journey on together to the better land
With our saints at last we shall wear the victor’s crown,
And forever lay our armor down. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We are marching on in the army of the Lord]

=============
For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades.
