Refrain: Marching, marching home! Blessed Savior, lo, we come! Blessed Saviour, lo, we come, Marching, marching home; With hearts and voices swelling, To thy praise we come marching home. 2 We are coming, we are coming, To the blessed mercy-seat, Where the song of our salvation We may joyfully repeat; Where the Lord of life will meet us, And His blessing will bestow, As we journey thro’ the valley, In our pilgrimage below. [Refrain] 3 We are coming, we are coming! Lord, accept the vows we bring; Lord, accept the love we offer, And accept the praise we sing! We would follow where Thou leadest, We would e’er with Thee abide, We would walk with Thee in patience, As we journey by Thy side. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [“We are coming! we are coming!”]
