From Age to Age They Gather

lyricist: Frederick Hosmer, 1891
Composer: 19th Century American

From age to age they ga­ther

All the brave of heart and strong;

In the strife of truth with er­ror

Of the right against the wrong;

I can see their gleam­ing ban­ner

I can hear their tri­umph song;

The truth is march­ing on.

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

The truth is march­ing on.

Now in this sign we con­quer

’Tis the sym­bol of our faith

Made ho­ly by the might of love

Triumphant ov­er death;

He who finds his life los­eth it

Forevermore it sa­ith

The right is march­ing on!

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

The right is march­ing on!

The earth is circ­ling on­ward

Out of sha­dow into light;

The stars keep watch above our way

However dark the night;

For every mar­tyr’s stripe there glows

A bar of morn­ing bright;

And love is march­ing on!

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

And love is march­ing on!

Lead on

O cross of mar­tyr faith

With thee is vic­to­ry;

Shine forth

O stars and red­den­ing dawn

The full day yet shall be;

On earth His king­dom com­eth

And with joy our eyes shall see

Our God is march­ing on.

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Glory

glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

Our God is march­ing on.
