Gloryland March
Hank Snow · The Singing Ranger, Vol. 3 [Bear Family (Germany)] [1994]
Glory hallujah we are marching on
(As we sing this song and it won't be long)
The man of Galilee will set us everyone free
So get in the gloryland march.
There is an army that is marching onto victory
The Captain is a man from Galilee
They've all been saved and their souls set free
By the blood of the man on calvary.
So won't you join in his army and be saved today
Get on your knees and pray
Have please the wrong to right and join in the fight
So get in the gloryland march.
Glory hallujah we are marching on
(As we sing this song and it won't be long)
The man of Galilee will set us everyone free
So get in the gloryland march.
--- Instrumental ---
Blessed is the army that will follow God
Fighting for the kingdom as we onward trod
Waiting for the morning when we leave the sod
Do live and be forever in the presence of God.
He will give us power over mend our sins
We'll shout and enter in
You'll hear the victory ring we'll find a Saviour King
So get in the gloryland march.
Glory hallujah we are marching on
(As we sing this song and it won't be long)
The man of Galilee will set us everyone free
So get in the gloryland march...
