We March to Victory

lyricist: Gerard Moultrie, 1865
Composer: Joseph Barnby, 1869

We march

we march to vic­to­ry

With the cross of the Lord be­fore us

With His lov­ing eye look­ing down from the sky

And His ho­ly arm spread o’er us

His ho­ly arm spread o’er us.

We come in the might of the Lord of light

With ar­mor bright to meet Him;

And we put to flight the ar­mies of night

That the sons of the day may greet Him

The sons of day may greet Him.

Our sword is the Spir­it of God on high

Our hel­met is His sal­va­tion

Our ban­ner the cross of Cal­va­ry.

Our watch­word

the In­car­na­tion

Our watch­word

the In­car­na­tion.

And the choir of an­gels with song awaits

Our march to the gold­en Zi­on

For our cap­tain has brok­en the bra­zen gates

And burst the bars of ir­on

And burst the bars of ir­on.

Then on­ward we march

our arms to prove

With the ban­ner of Christ be­fore us

With His eye of love look­ing down from above

And His ho­ly arm spread o’er us

His ho­ly arm spread o’er us.
