Author: H. D. K. Hymnal: The Service of Praise #99 (1900) Lyrics: 1 We march with glad devotion, Where Jesus leads the way,— Our cloudless light thro’ darkest night, Our shelter thro’ the day. Alleluia! Alleluia! God is our unfailing stay; Alleluia! Alleluia! God is our unfailing stay. 2 We march—where many dangers, And mighty foes appear; Our only sword our Saviour word, His cross our banner dear. Alleluia! Alleluia! God, our strength, is ever near; Alleluia! Alleluia! God, our strength, is ever near. 3 We march—where saintly heroes, Have won their best renown, And sword and flame their faith o’ercame, To gain their martyr’s crown. Alleluia! Alleluia! God will never fail his own; Alleluia! Alleluia! God will never fail his own. 4 We march—where the sweet music, Of angels cheer us on, Who guard our way by night and day, Till all our foes are gone. Alleluia! Alleluia! God has our redemption won; Alleluia! Alleluia! God has our redemption won. 5 We march—where Jesus calls us To Zion’s radiant dome; And soon or late within the gate, His ransom’d all will come. Alleluia! Alleluia! God will bring the children home; Alleluia! Alleluia! God will bring the children home. 6 We march—in hope rejoicing, The war will soon be done, And Christ, our King, the world will bring, To bow before his throne. Alleluia! Alleluia! God shall reign, and God alone; Alleluia! Alleluia! God shall reign, and God alone. Languages: English Tune Title: [We march with glad devotion]
