Chorus: We’re marching home, We’re marching home, We’re marching home with Jesus, With our palms of victory; We’re marching home, We’re marching home, We’re marching on to glorious victory. 2 We’re marching home with Jesus; Oh, sweet it is to know That o’er life’s rugged road He’ll ever with us go! How surely we can trust Him Throughout the darkest night! In safety He will guard us Until the morning light. [Chorus] 3 We’re marching home with Jesus; We’ve nothing now to fear; No sin or foe can harm With Christ, our Savior, near; We’re marching home with Jesus, And joyfully each day We’ll follow ever onward Where He may lead the way.
