O Church of God, triumphant
O’er human doubts and fears,
Which in the faith of ages
Comes marching thro’ the years;
Baptized with blood of martyrs,
With conflicts dearly won,
Beset with persecutions,
Yet ever marching on.
O Church of God, triumphant,
With conflicts dearly won,
Beset with persecution,
Yet ever marching on.
With backward look we see thee,
Thy scattered members few;
We see thee struggling ever
Their courage to renew;
Strong amid tribulation,
Uprising from each fall,
We see thee marching onward
Triumphant over all.
O Church of God, triumphant,
With conflicts dearly won,
Beset with persecution,
Yet ever marching on.
O refuge of the nations,
On thee our hope is stayed;
Thy courage thro’ the ages
Shall keep us unafraid;
And with thy strength increasing
Till earthly years are past,
God help thee to march onward
Triumphant to the last.
O Church of God, triumphant,
With conflicts dearly won,
Beset with persecution,
Yet ever marching on.
