Where the Cross Is Leading

lyricist: Lizzie DeArmond and Charles Gabriel, 1913
Composer: Bentley Ackley

On where the cross is lead­ing

Under the glo­ri­ous ban­ner go;

Marching in pha­lanx brave and strong

We fear not to meet the foe.

On

on

unit­ed in His love!

On

on

to joy and peace above;

Marching to­ge­ther

loy­al for­ev­er

Jesus is lead­ing—on for the King!

Closer around us throng­ing

Gather the migh­ty hosts of sin;

Yet

while our great com­mand­er leads

We’ll fight

and the tri­umph win.

On where the cross is lead­ing!

Fear not

tho’ march­ing days be long;

Ours is the bat­tle

His the tri­umph

Ours be the vic­tor’s song.
