Satan's warlords draw their swords
To kill the Church of God,
But only stain the path with blood,
Down here on earthen sod.

Christ's Church is marching on.

Not to be defeated,
The Church is marching on.
Christ the cornerstone,
The Church is marching on.

His Church goes marching on.

Preacher, be not weary,
Don't hang your head and sigh.
We are Christ's, He is ours,
Rejoice with faith and cry:

The Church is marching on.

Join us now, you sinners!
Come join our happy throng!
Christ's death has made us free,
So sing with us this song:

His Church is marching on.

You hear the Church marching?
Oh, such a mighty sound!
Born of the Spirit, never to die,
The Church is marching on.

Christ's Church is marching home.
