In the Name of Jesus

Representative Text

1 In the name of Jesus,
Marching on, battling on;
In the name of Jesus,
We are marching on.
Onward! onward!
We are little soldiers.
Onward! onward!
This our battle cry.
In the name of Jesus,
marching on, battling on;
In the name of Jesus,
We are marching on.

2 In the name of Jesus,
Toiling on, striving on;
In the name of Jesus,
We are toiling on.
Onward! onward!
We are little workers;
Onward! onward!
This our labor song.
In the name of Jesus,
marching on, battling on;
In the name of Jesus,
We are marching on.

3 In the name of Jesus,
Hoping on, praying on;
In the name of Jesus,
We are praying on.
Onward! onward!
We are little trav'lers;
Onward! onward!
This our pilgrim song.
In the name of Jesus,
marching on, marching on;
In the name of Jesus,
We are marching on.
