We March, We March to Victory

Author: Gerard Moultrie Hymnal: The Gospel Message Choir #28 (1929) First Line: We come in the might of the Lord of light Lyrics: Refrain: We march, we march to victory, With the cross of the Lord before us, With His loving eye looking down from the sky, And His holy arm spread o’er us, His holy arm spread o’er us. 1 We come in the might of the Lord of light, With armor bright to meet Him; And we put to flight the armies of night, That the sons of the day may greet Him, The sons of day may greet Him. [Refrain] 2 Our sword is the Spirit of God on high, Our helmet is His salvation; Our banner the cross of Calvary. Our watchword the Incarnation, Our watchword the Incarnation. [Refrain] 3 And the choir of angels with song awaits Our march to the golden Zion; For our Captain has broken the brazen gates, And burst the bars of iron, And burst the bars of iron. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We come in the might of the Lord of light]

Authors, composers, editors, etc.

Anonymous

Author of "My Lord, What a Morning!" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
