End of Holy Rollers Chapters 9 and 19 -
If while fighting for our Savior on the battlefield below, -
we find ourselves surrounded by a strong and mighty foe; -
Let us follow our Commander, He will safely bring us through, -
He will never, never leave us, What he promised He will do. -
Go on, go on, don't murmur or complain, -
Shout glory hallelujah! While we reap the golden grain; -
Go on go on, onward ever on; -
Each day "the way" grows brighter, Soon our heav'nly home we'll gain. -
-
If some say we are peculiar, and don't do things just "their way," -
They cannot understand us, neither what we do or say; -
There is One above who knows us, And he keeps us pure within, -
When we "sing and shout, and leap for joy," he knows just what we mean. -
