Our God is Marching on. by Wm. Steffe — Lyrics
About Our God is Marching on.
"Our God is Marching on" is a triumphant hymn of divine victory and justice. With its steady, driving rhythm and vivid imagery of trumpets, watch-fires, and a "terrible swift sword," the song paints a picture of God moving powerfully through the world. For a choir, the piece demands strong, rhythmic singing that carries the congregation along, building in intensity with every verse.
In many Nigerian parishes, this hymn is a favourite choice for the recessional procession. As the Mass concludes and the clergy process out, the resounding chorus of "Glory, glory, Hallelujah!" sends the faithful forth with a sense of courage and purpose. The familiar melody makes it easy for the entire church to join in, lifting their voices to declare that God's truth and presence are actively marching ahead of them into the week.
