thee good" - Num. 10:29



1.  YE Holy Saints where goest thou?

     And clutching palm fronds in thine hand

     We’re marching on our King to meet 

     As He hath promiseth to us.

Chorus: We’re marching forth, to palace of
   
              our King

              Onto the promised land 

              Whereforth sinners can never dwell 

              Wherefoth there is eternal rest.


2.  Ye sacred Saints to us inform

     Of eternal joy there exists

     Of the white robes and glorious crown 

     From Jesus Christ, to us attain.

Chorus: We’re marching forth...


3.  We hath no dwelling abode here 

     Dreadful, if here be our abode

     Joy at the dawn, weeping at dusk 

     But naught of this art found above.

Chorus: We’re marching forth...


4.  Open ajar the door, ye Saints

     For earthly Saints to enter in

     We of the earth from woe and pains 

     Now here with Holy God to dwell.

Chorus: We’re marching forth...


5.  Great multitude from all the world 

     With satan hath fought, vict’ry won 

     All adopted children of God

    Come O! my friend, ere it’s too late.

Chorus: We’re marching forth...


6.  The earthly terrain all of naught 

     With the Lord, come, invest to gain 

     The earthly friends art all but vain 

     Un-denying friend art the Lord.

Chorus: We’re marching forth...


7.  The earth, its savour now is lost 

     The earthly value, all is dross 

     Come to the Lord, brethren decide 

     Eternal joy, all ye may earn. 

Chorus: We’re marching forth...


8.  Twenty and four heavenly beings 

     We earthly hosts, thy band belong 

     For the earth, its savour is lost 

     Heav’nly savour, may we partake.

Chorus: We’re marching forth, to palace of
   
              our King

              Onto the promised land 

              Whereforth sinners can never dwell 

              Wherefoth there is eternal rest.  Amen
