133. Shoulder to Shoulder

1 Shoulder to shoulder,
Pressing on with prayer;
One the road we journey
One the name we bear.
One great foe confronts us,
‘Tis the host of sin;
One great faith unites us;
Only thus we win.

Refrain:
Marching, marching, marching on together,
Working, working, working hand in hand;
Marching, marching on to holy warfare,
On to brightest glory in Immanuel’s land.

2 Shoulder to shoulder,
In the work of life;
Never room for envy,
Never time for strife.
Faithful, true, and earnest,
On the whitening field,
So shall Christian labor
Golden harvests yield. [Refrain]

3 Shoulder to shoulder,
One in blest accord,
Following one Master,
Worshiping one Lord.
Closer grows our union;
Oh, the mighty bond!
One sweet love constraining,
One bright home beyond. [Refrain]
