I. The years that we’ve passed have been glorious

Through darkness we’ve struggled to light

Our efforts are now crowned victorious

Bright sunshine now scatters the night

II. Yes, onward, onward still

With hymn and chant and song

Through gates and porch and columned aisle

The hallowed path we throng.

III. Yes, on through life’s long path

Still chanting as we go

From youth to age by night and day

In gladness and in woe

IV. So, lift your standards high

Still march in firm array

As warriors through the darkness toil

‘Till dawns the golden day.

V. I live for those that love me

For those that love me true

For the heaven that smiles above me

And waits my coming through

VI. For the good that needs assistance

For the future in the distance

For the good that I can do

For the good that I can do…
