253 Like Ten Thousand Legions Marching Majestically 1. Like ten thousand legions marching Moves a mighty band of youth, Boldly taking to all people Zion’s glorious song of truth. 2. Out of ev’ry nation surging— Sons of Joseph, Israel’s band— Now they spread salvation’s message In the tongues of ev’ry land. 3. Far across the mighty waters, Reaching ev’ry waiting shore, Seed of Abraham and Jacob Like a mighty lion roar. 4. Come, ye nations, out of darkness; ’Tis the time of Christ’s return. Heed the Restoration’s message; Let its light within you burn. Text: Jean L. Kaberry, 1918–1997. © 1985 IRI Music: Robert P.
