going to sing all along the way.
Oh, I'm a going to sing, going to sing,
going to sing all along the way.
Going to sing, going to sing,
Going to sing along the way.

(Verses 1-4, Solo.)

1. We'll raise the christian banner,
The motto's new and old.
Repentance and salvation, Are burnished there in gold.

CHORUS.

2. We want to cowards in our band,
That from their colors fly,
We call for valiant hearted men,
That are not afraid to die.

CHORUS.

3. We soon shall reach the other shore,
O how we then shall sing,
With all the heavenly chorus
We'll make the arches ring.

CHORUS.

4. We'll shout o'er all our sorrows,
And sing forever more,
With Christ and all his army,
On that celestial shore.

CHORUS.
