Representative Text

1 We are marching on to reach that happy land.
There we’ll rest forever on the bright golden strand.
There we all will join the heav’nly blood-washed band
In singing praises to our Lord.

Refrain:
Then come and join us as we’re marching,
Marching on, marching on,
Then come and join us as we’re marching,
We will march and sing Hallelujah
Praise the Lord!

2 Come, dear pilgrim, come: let none be left behind.
Come and join in with us that the road you may find.
For the Saviour leads us: he is good and kind.
He’ll guide us to our happy home. [Refrain]

3 It will not be long till we shall reach that shore.
There we hope to meet with those who’ve gone on before.
There we’ll sit and sing with them forevermore
Hosannas to our God and King. [Refrain]
