Lift up your hearts, Emmanuel's friends And taste the pleasure Jesus sends Let nothing cause you to delay But hasten in the good old way

{Refrain} For I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul I have a sweet hope of glory in my soul And I know I have, and I feel I have A sweet hope of glory in my soul
/ G - D - / Em - Bm - / Em - D - / G - D - E - - - /
Our conflicts here, though great they be Shall not prevent our victory If we but strive and watch and pray Like soldiers in the good old way
{Refrain}
Though Satan may his powers employ Our happiness for to destroy But never fear, we'll gain the day By marching in the good old way
{Refrain}
Ye valiant souls, for heaven contend Remember glory is at the end Our God will wipe our tears away When we have run in the good old way
{Refrain}
And far beyond this mortal shore We'll meet with those who have gone before And shout to think we have gained the day By marching in the good old way
