1 We're marching to the promised land,
A land all fair and bright;
Come, join our happy, youthful band,
And seek the plains of light.
Chorus:
Oh, come and join our youthful band,
Our songs and triumphs share;
We soon shall reach the promised land,
And rest for ever there.
2 The Saviour feeds his little flock,
His grace is richly given;
The living waters from the rock,
And daily bread from heaven. [Chorus]
3 In that bright land no sin is found,
But all are happy there;
And youthful voices there shall join
With the angelic choir. [Chorus]
4 Our teachers kind do point the way,
And guide our feet aright,
To those bright realms of endless day
Where Jesus is the light. [Chorus]
