On where the cross is lead­ing,
Under the glo­ri­ous ban­ner go;
Marching in pha­lanx brave and strong,
We fear not to meet the foe.

Refrain

On, on, unit­ed in His love!
On, on, to joy and peace above;
Marching to­ge­ther, loy­al for­ev­er,
Jesus is lead­ing—on for the King!

Closer around us throng­ing
Gather the migh­ty hosts of sin;
Yet, while our great com­mand­er leads,
We’ll fight, and the tri­umph win.

Refrain

On where the cross is lead­ing!
Fear not, tho’ march­ing days be long;
Ours is the bat­tle, His the tri­umph,
Ours be the vic­tor’s song.
