Our Youth Are Marching On

Mine eyes have seen the to­kens

Of an­oth­er Pen­te­cost

Mine ears have heard the ga­ther­ing

Of a de­di­cat­ed host

My soul has felt the pre­sence

Of the pro­mised Ho­ly Ghost

Our youth are march­ing on.

Look up

lift up

night is flee­ing!

Look up

lift up

day is break­ing!

Look up

lift up

vic­to­ry com­eth!

Our youth are march­ing on.

There’s a fire of con­se­cra­tion

That is kind­ling in our youth

They are vow­ing hear­ty serv­ice

To the Mas­ter and His truth

Their faith is pure and ar­dent

And their works are Gos­pel proof

Our youth are march­ing on.

There’s a fer­vor of re­viv­al

Burning bright in ma­ny hearts

There’s a glow of gen­er­ous loy­al­ty

Their no­ble pur­pose starts

’Tis the spir­it of the fa­thers

And the zeal that Christ im­parts

Our youth are march­ing on.

They un­furl Im­ma­nu­el’s ban­ner

And be­hold

the thou­sands rise!

They are look­ing up in pray­er to Him

Enthroned be­yond the skies

They are lift­ing up their bro­ther

From the ru­in where he lies

Our youth are march­ing on.
