Lyrics

’Neath the sacred Gos­pel banner
With the Sav­ior for our guide,
We are marching on to glo­ry day by day;
Trusting in our holy leader
Thro’ whatever may betide,
We are marching on to glo­ry day by day.

Refrain

We are marching on to glo­ry day by day,
We are marching on to glo­ry day by day;
Gathering from every nation,
’Neath the banner of sal­va­tion,
We are marching on to glo­ry day by day.

Climbing rugged steeps before us,
Led in ways we do not know,
We are marching on to glo­ry day by day;
Passing oft thro’ pleasant valleys
Where refreshing waters flow,
We are marching on to glo­ry day by day.

Refrain

Overcoming earth’s temptations,
Joys enduring to obtain,
We are marching on to glo­ry day by day;
Seeking Hea­ven’s shining city,
Life eter­nal there to gain,
We are marching on to glo­ry day by day.

Refrain

To be rea­dy for the banquet
At the marriage of the Lamb,
We are marching on to glo­ry day by day;
With the company of pure ones
To unite in vic­to­ry’s psalm,
We are marching on to glo­ry day by day.

Refrain
