From Age to Age They Gather (EN 2942)

1

From age to age they gather, all the brave of heart and strong;

In the strife of truth with error, of the right against the wrong;

I can see their gleaming banner, I can hear their triumph song;

The truth is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah! The truth is marching on.

2

“In this sign we conquer,” ’tis the symbol of our faith,

Made holy by the might of love triumphant over death;

“He who finds his life loseth it,” forevermore it saith,

The right is marching on!

Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah! The right is marching on!

3

The earth is circling onward out of shadow into light;

The stars keep watch above our way, however dark the night;

For every martyr’s stripe there glows a bar of morning bright;

And love is marching on!

Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah! And love is marching on!

4

Lead on, O cross of martyr faith, with thee is victory;

Shine forth, O stars and reddening dawn, the full day yet shall be;

On earth His kingdom cometh, and with joy our eyes shall see,

Our God is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
