9199. Onward Now

1 Onward, comrades, onward pressing,
Daily seek the Master’s blessing,
In the Christian life progressing,
Onward, comrades, onward now!

Refrain:
Onward now! onward, all!
Strength from our Savior ever gaining;
Onward now! onward, all!
Heed the loud, inspiring call.

2 Many foes our path surrounding,
Let our happy songs resounding,
Tell of grace still more abounding,
Onward, comrades, onward now! [Refrain]

3 On this grace alone depending,
Sweetly on our souls descending,
Aiding, cheering, and defending,
Onward, comrades, onward now! [Refrain]

4 Onward, for the Lord will guide us;
In His mercy, walk beside us,
Freely, all we need, provide us,
Onward, comrades, onward now! [Refrain]
