1 See our mighty army, as we march along,
We are marching on to victory;
Ne’er before were soldiers half so bold and strong,
We are marching on to victory.
Victory, victory.
Chorus:
We are an army with banners,
Banners, banners,
We are an army with banners,
We’re marching up to God.
2 Bands of happy children, marching ev’ry day,
We are marching on to victory;
We will win the battle, if we watch and pray,
We are marching on to victory. [Chorus]
3 As we march, we’re giving praises to our King,
We are marching on to victory;
Listen to our voices, how we shout and sing,
We are marching on to victory. [Chorus]
4 As we march, we carry neither gun nor sword,
We are marching on to victory;
We will get to heaven, trusting in the Lord,
We are marching on to victory. [Chorus]

Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton… Go to person page >
