Representative Text

1 March on, march on to victory, to victory,
With courage bold and brave;
Hold up the cross of Christ the Lord,
Its royal banner wave,
Its royal banner wave.

Refrain:
Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might;
March on, march on,
March on, march on,
March on, march on,
March on, defend the right.

2 March on, march on to victory, to victory,
The trumpet call obey;
Assured of this—whate’er may come,
Our Saviour leads the way,
Our Saviour leads the way. [Refrain]

3 March on, march on to victory, to victory,
With God’s beloved Son;
And never fear to tell the world
What He for man has done,
What He for man has done. [Refrain]

4 March on, march on to victory, to victory,
Nor once at ease sit down;
And through the grace of Him we serve,
Let no one take our crown,
Let no one take our crown. [Refrain]

Author: Fanny J. Crosby
