On the highway of life a sound Refrain First Line: Hear the tramp, tramp, tramp of the army as they march along the way of life Lyrics: 1 Hark! On the highway of life a sound, As crested waves of ocean roar, Lash’d by the storm in its fury spent, As they beat upon the shore. Refrain: Hear the tramp, tramp, tramp of the army as they march along the way of life, They are weary of the toil and the travel, or the bitterness of strife; But they hope and trust, looking ever on the path the saints before have trod, And as they march along their faith grows strong in the church of the living God. 2 Onward they march with a faith unmoved By any change of time or creed; Their’s to believe that the word of God Can supply the world’s great need. [Refrain] 3 Step in the ranks, you are needed there, Cling to the church and God will bless; He is the hope of the whole wide world For the cause of righteousness. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Hark!

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Person Name: C. A. M. Author of "The Army of the Living God" in New Songs of Pentecost No. 3 Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
