86. The Sunday School Army Moves On

1 O’er mountain and valley, from shore unto shire,
Wherever his flag is unfurled,
The Sunday School army is marching along,
For lo! it encircles the world.

Chorus:
Marching today, marching today,
In paths where the Savior has gone;
Marching today, marching today,
The Sunday School army moves on.

2 Straight forward it pressed, obeying commands,
Each one is a soldier most true;
They follow their Leader with hearts undismayed,
Whatever he says they will do. [Chorus]

3 Without compromise, without parley with sin,
When souls for the Christ must be won,
The Sunday School army moves on with a cheer,
Their marching has only begun. [Chorus]
