Onward! onward! band victorious

Hymnal: Kind Words #33 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Onward! onward! band victorious, Rear the temp'rance banner high; Thus far hath your course been glorious, Now your day of triumph's nigh. Vice and error flee before you, As the darkness flies the sun; Onward, vict'ry hovers o'er you, Soon the battle will be won! 2 Onward! onward! song and shouting Ring to heav'n's sublimest arch: Whensoe'er your flag is floating, And your cocnquering legions march. Gird the temp'rance armor on you, Look for guidance from above; God and angels smile upon you, Hasten, then, your work of love! 3 Lo, what multitudes despairing! Widows, orphans, heirs of woe; And the slaves their fetters wearing, Reeling madly to and fro; Mercy, justice, both entreat you To destroy their bitter foe; Christians, patriots, good men greet you, To the conflict bravely go. 4 To the vender and distiller, Thunder truth with startling tone! Sweet the accents, louder, shriller, Make their guilt enormous known. Onward! onward! never falter, Cease not till the earth is free; Vow on temp'rance's holy altar, Death is yours, or victory.
