Glorious Army

lyricist: D. E. Mathews, 1887
Composer: Thomas Lawrence

Children

in one glo­ri­ous ar­my

Marching to our heav’n­ly home;

We will love our bless­èd Sav­ior

And from Him no more will roam.

March on

march on

Do not lin­ger here;

For the Cap­tain’s near us

And we need not fear.

Children

join us

oh

de­lay not

For the Sav­ior bids you come;

We are march­ing home to vic­to­ry

And the prize will soon be won.

In the Sab­bath school each Sun­day

There we meet to learn of Him

Meet to learn how once He suf­fered

To re­deem our souls from sin.

Many times the way seems dark­ened

By the snares cast in the way

But the Cap­tain will de­feat them

And will hold the foe at bay.

Then

dear child­ren

do you hear not?

Will you not with us unite?

Come and go

for now’s the bid­ding

To the work­ers for the right.
