Chorus:
/ G- D- / Em- Bm- / Em- D- / G- D- Em/
Lift Emup your hearts, EmmDanuel's friends
And Gtaste the Dpleasure Jesus sEmends
Let Emnothing cause you Dto delay
But Ghasten Din the good old Emway
{Chorus}
For I Ghave a sweet hope of Dglory in my soul
I hEmave a sweet hope of Bmglory in my soul
And I Emknow I have, and I fDeel I have
A sGweet hope of Dglory in my Emsoul
Our cEmonflicts here, though gDreat they be
Shall nGot prevent our vDictorEmy
If Emwe but strive and Dwatch and pray
Like sGoldiers Din the good old Emway
{Chorus}
Though SEmatan may his pDowers employ
Our Ghappiness Dfor to destEmroy
But nEmever fear, we'll Dgain the day
By Gmarching Din the good old Emway
{Chorus}
Ye Emvaliant souls, for Dheaven contend
ReGmember glDory is at the eEmnd
Our EmGod will wipe our tDears away
When Gwe have run Din the good old Emway
{Chorus}
And Emfar beyond this Dmortal shore
We'll Gmeet with thDose who have gone bEmefore
And Emshout to think we have Dgained the day
By Gmarching Din the good old Emway
{Final chorus:)
For I Ghave a sweet hope of Dglory in my soul
I hEmave a sweet hope of Bmglory in my soul
And I Emknow I have, and I fDeel I have
A sGweet hope of Dglory in my Emsoul.
