We Are Marching On to Glory
Vigorously
1. We are marching on to glory;
We are working for our crown.
We will make our armor brighter
And never lay it down.
[Chorus]
We are marching, marching homeward
To that bright land afar.
We work for life eternal;
It is our guiding star.
2. Then day by day we are marching;
To heaven we are bound.
Each good act brings us nearer
That home where we’ll be crowned.
[Chorus]
We are marching, marching homeward
To that bright land afar.
We work for life eternal;
It is our guiding star.
3. Then, with the ransomed children
That throng the starry throne,
We will praise our Lord and Savior,
His pow’r and mercy own.
[Chorus]
We are marching, marching homeward
To that bright land afar.
We work for life eternal;
It is our guiding star.
Text and music: John M. Chamberlain, 1844–1930
