Light in the Valley ‎#40

40. The Sunday School Army

1 See our mighty army, as we march along,
We are marching on to victory;
Ne'er before were soldiers half so bold and strong,
We are marching on to victory.
Victory, victory.

Chorus:
We are an army with banners,
Banners, banners,
We are an army with banners,
We're marching up to God.

2 Bands of happy children, marching ev'ry day,
We are marching on to victory;
We will win the battle,
If we watch and pray,
We are marching on to victory.
Victory, victory. [Chorus]

3 As we march, we're giving praises to our King,
We are marching on to victory;
Listen to our voices, how we shout and sing,
We are marching on to victory
Victory, victory. [Chorus]

4 As we march, we carry neither gun nor sword,
We are marching on to victory;
We will get to heaven, trusting in the Lord,
We are marching onto victory.
Victory, victory. [Chorus]
