1. March, march away to the world’s great field,
Sing in our hearts, in our hearts rejoicing;
March, march today with our sword and shield,
Armed for the strife and the toil of life.
Far (over the deep,) over the deep resounding,
Far (over the isles,) over the isles rebounding,
Hear (loudly the cry,) loudly the war cry sounding,
March away, away, steadily march away.

Chorus 1:
March, march away to the world’s great field,
Sing in our hearts, in our hearts rejoicing;
March, march today with our sword and shield,
Armed for the strife and the toil of life.

2. Haste, no delay, for the foe is nigh,
On, like the true and the brave advancing;
Strong in the strength of the Lord most high,
March, march along with a shout and song.
See, (yonder the light,) yonder the light is gleaming,
Far (over the hills,) over the hills ‘tis beaming,
Down (into the vale,) into the vale ‘tis streaming,
March away, away, steadily march away.

Chorus 2:
Haste, no delay, for the foe is nigh,
On, like the true and the brave advancing;
Strong in the strength of the Lord most high,
March, march along with a shout and song.

3. March to the front with a bold, firm tread,
Trust in the Lord our divine Commander,
Hold to the truth that his word has said,
“I will defend till the war shall end.”
His (banner of love,) banner of love is o’er us,
Wake (joyfully wake,) joyfully wake the chorus,
He (leadeth the way,) leadeth the way before us,
March away, away, steadily march away.

Chorus 3:
March to the front with a bold, firm tread,
Trust in the Lord our divine Commander,
Hold to the truth that his word has said,
“I will defend till the war shall end.”
