Heart And Hand For Jesus Marching On – Hymn Lyric
Heart and hand for Jesus, marching on
In the way his hallowed feet have gone;
Marching in the narrow way,
To the land of bright unfading day.
Refrain:
Marching, marching,
Marching in the narrow way with Jesus;
Marching, we’re marching,
Marching in the narrow way.
Over in that happy peaceful place,
When we see the Saviour face to face,
O so bright and fair, we’ll be like him,
And be called his jewels rare. [Refrain]
When our eyes behold the wondrous sight,
Of the host in robes of spotless white,
With a robe for you and me,
We’ll rejoice when Christ the Lord we see. [Refrain]
Soon we’ll be with Jesus in that land,
Where the saints in joy before him stand;
There, our souls made pure and sweet,
We shall worship at his feet. [Refrain]
