March Forth! Marssige Edasi!

We are marching on with shield and banner bright,
We will work for God and battle for the right
We will praise his name, rejoicing in his might,
And we'll work till Jesus calls.

Then awake, then awake, happy song, happy song;
Shout for joy, shout for joy, as we gladly march along.
We are marching onward, singing as we go,
To the promised land where living waters flow;
Come and join our ranks as soldiers here below,
Come and work till Jesus calls.

In the open air our Army we prepare,
As we rally round our blessed standard there;
And the Saviour's cross we gladly learn to share
While we work till Jesus calls.

We are marching on; our captain, ever near
Will protect us still, his guiding voice we hear;
Let the foe advance, we'll never, never fear,
But we'll work till Jesus calls.

We are marching on and pressing t'wards the prize,
To a glorious crown beyond the glowing skies,
To the radiant fields where pleasure never dies,
And we'll work till Jesus calls.

Fanny Crosby (1820-1915)

(SASB Song #818)
