We are in the army of the Lord below,
Keep the step, Keep the step,
Ev'ry heart in union as we onward go,
Keep the step, Keep the step,
We've a Captain mighty, 'tis the great King's Son,
Leading all the way and we follow on,
We'll to Him be true until the vict'ry's won,
And the crowning day has come.

Ev'ry one is happy as we march along,
Keep the step, Keep the step,
Ev'ry one a singer of the new, new song,
Keep the step, Keep the step,
Ev'ry day's a battle and we watch and pray,
Ev'ry day's a dash in the deadly fray,
Ev'ry day's a march along the King's highway,
Glory to His holy name.

Ev'ry eye is looking to the glorious prize,
Keep the step, Keep the step,
Ev'ry heart has treasure in the golden skies,
Keep the step, Keep the step,
Mind we not the hardship of the soldier true,
Mind we not the straits that we're marching through,
'Tis the crown of glory that we keep in view,
As we urge our way along.

Chorus:
We are in the army of the Lord below,
Keep the step, Keep the step,
Ev'ry heart in union as we onward go,
Keep the step, Keep the step.
