8761. Onward And Upward

1 Onward and upward, go forth in thy might,
Onward and upward for God and the right;
Onward and upward from darkness to light,
Bravely and cheerfully, Christian, press on.

Refrain:
Onward, upward, bravely and cheerfully go;
Onward, upward, God and the right to know.

2 Onward! the prize and high calling to win;
Onward, for Jesus and victory o’er sin;
Onward! the work of the Master begin;
Bravely and cheerfully, Christian, press on. [Refrain]

3 Upward, look upward, O mortal, and see;
Jesus is standing and pleading for thee;
Upward, yes, upward, look now and be free;
Bravely and cheerfully, Christian, press on. [Refrain]
