As we go march­ing home.
As we go march­ing home.
Easter morn is say­ing, say­ing,
Far from the Shep­herd’s fold;
Yonder proud ship mounts the foam,
Far from the Shep­herd’s fold;
When wise men came with gifts to share,
The run­ning of the deer,
Happy town of Sa­lem, hap­py lit­tle feet
Over the noi­sy keys;
Little child­ren, sweet, in­no­cent, pure,

play­ing

The harps of Heav’n are play­ing,
The harps of Heav’n are play­ing,
And all hearts with joy are pray­ing,
Calling them from the cold.
Gains the port and wel­come home.
Calling them from the cold.
Could they be­hold in one so small
Sweet sing­ing in the quire,
Let them come, says Je­sus, and for­bid them not;
Or what I was dream­ing then,
Then our Lamb will ex­tend His sweet hand,
