Hark, the Tramp of Coming Legions
Author: Alice Jean Cleator Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Lyrics: 1. Hark, the sound of coming legions,
O how joyful is the sound,
’Tis the children’s army marching,
On the Master’s errands bound.
See their faces all are glowing
With the joyous light of youth
As they’re marching, onward marching
For the cause of Right and Truth.
Refrain
Hark, the tramp of coming legions,
O how joyful is the sound,
’Tis the children’s army marching,
On the Master’s errands bound.
2. Hark, the tramp of coming legions,
Hosts of Satan now must quail,
They must scatter in confusion
When this army shall prevail.
At the summons of the Master,
See the children fall in line,
Marching on with glad endeavor,
Trusting in the help divine. [Refrain]
3. Hark, the tramp of coming legions,
Marching onward millions strong,
They shall surely be victorious
O’er the hosts of sin and wrong.
Ever loyal to the Master,
Strong their hearts shall be and brave,
Till the Gospel’s glorious banner
Over all the world shall wave. [Refrain] Text Sources: Sunday-School Hymns No. 1, edited by I. H. Meredith, Grant C. Tullar & J. W. Lerman (New York: Tullar-Meredith Company, 1903)
