1. Onward, rejoicing,
Marching in the light,
Singing of our Savior,
Of his royal might;
Following the Master
Where his footsteps shine,
We shall share the glory
Of his life divine.
Chorus:
Marching in the light,
Marching in the light,
For his great salvation banishes the night;
Marching in the light,
Marching in the light,
Jesus brings the morning,
Peaceful, calm and bright.
2. Onward, rejoicing
In the golden morn;
In the sky above us
Blooms the rose of dawn;
Speed the gospel message,
Speed salvation’s day!
Till the light shall gladden
Nations far away.
3. Onward, rejoicing,
Marching in the light;
But a brighter glory
Waits our raptured sight,
When we join our Savior
In the Land serene,
When we see his beauty,
Not a shade between.
