Marching on to battle ’gainst
the hosts of wrong,
Following our Captain
with a happy song,
Heeding not the many
who are loit’ring by,
For victory is nigh, yes, victory is nigh.
Victory is nigh! yes, victory is nigh!
Shout with voice triumphant
to the vaulted sky;
Victory is nigh! yes, victory is nigh!
We will win the battle
for the King on high.
“Volunteers are wanted,”
hear the Master say,
Will you be enlisted in the mighty fray?
Ev’ry Christian answer,
saying, “Here am I,”
Then victory is nigh, yes, victory is nigh.
Victory is nigh! yes, victory is nigh!
Shout with voice triumphant
to the vaulted sky;
Victory is nigh! yes, victory is nigh!
We will win the battle
for the King on high.
