811: Marching On In The Light Of God

Book:   1987 Song Book
Chapter:   The Salvation Soldier

1.
Marching on in the light of God,
Marching on, I am marching on;
Up the path that the Master trod,
Marching, marching on.

Chorus
A robe of white, a crown of gold,
A harp, a home, a mansion fair,
A victor's palm, a joy untold,
Are mine when I get there.

For Jesus is my Saviour,
he's washed my sins away,
Died for me on Calvary's mountain;
I'm happy in his wondrous love,
singing all the day,
I'm living, yes,
I'm living in the fountain.

2.
Marching on through the hosts of sin,
Marching on, I am marching on;
Victory's mine while I've Christ within;
Marching, marching on.

3.
Marching on in the Spirit's might,
Marching on, I am marching on;
More than conqueror in every fight;
Marching, marching on.

4.
Marching on with the flag unfurled,
Marching on, I am marching on;
Preaching Christ to a dying world;
Marching, marching on.
