Lifting as We Climb
Author: E. E. Hewitt Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Forward, ever forward Refrain First Line: Forward, ever forward Lyrics: 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] Used With Tune: [Forward, ever forward]

=============
For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades.
