我已在上百個環形軍營的篝火裏看見主；
他披著夜間的露水為他建了一座神壇，
我能憑昏暗搖曳的燈光讀出他公正的判決：
他的勝利在前進。

我已在一排排磨光的利劍裏讀到一篇熾熱的福音書；
「因為你在對付輕侮我的人，所以我要為你祝福；
讓人間的英雄用他的腳跟踩死毒蛇，
因為上帝在前進。」

他已吹響那決不召喚退卻的號角；
他把人心擺在他的法庭面前審查：
哦，我的靈魂快點回應主的號召！
我的腳要歡快奔跑！
我們的上帝在前進。

基督生在大海彼岸美麗的百合花中，
他懷裏的榮光使你我成為神聖；
正如他為使人類神聖而死，讓我們為使人類自由而獻身，
這時上帝在前進。

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:

                       His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;

They have builded Him altar in the evening dews and damps;

1. can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:

                       His day is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:

"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;

Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,

                     Since God is marching on."

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilent, my feet!

                       Our God is marching on

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born  across the sea.

With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me:

As he died to men holy, let us die to make men free

                       While God is marching on
