Sunshine ‎#64

64. Lifting as We Climb

1 Forward, ever forward!
Rally one and all;
Hear the Master’s “Onward!”
Like a bugle call,
Making paths of duty
Blossom into beauty,
From the blush of morning
To the even fall.

Refrain:
Forward, ever forward,
Lifting others as we climb!
Forward, ever forward,
While the bells of glory sweetly, sweetly chime.

2 Forward, ever forward!
Trusting love Divine;
Pass the happy watchword
All along the line;
Joyful hearts possessing,
Blest and made a blessing,
Showing other pilgrims
Where the sunbeams shine. [Refrain]

3 Forward, ever forward!
Daily let us rise;
Jesus leading onward,
Nearer to the skies;
Lifting up a brother,
Cheering one another;
Step by step advancing
Tow’rd the starry prize. [Refrain]
