Author: Thos. Crawford Hymnal: Williston Hymns #149 (1917) First Line: Raise the song of triumph Refrain First Line: Onward! Forward! bright as the sun Lyrics: 1 Raise the song of triumph,
Swell the strain of joy;
Hymns in praise of Jesus
Let our lips employ;
As our Savior greet Him,
Grateful tribute bring,
Praises to our Captain,
Praises to our King.
Refrain:
Onward! Forward! bright as the sun;
Onward Forward till day is done;
Onward and forward till vict’ry’s won;
We are marching home.
2 Day by day we’re passing
Thro’ this world of care;
Year by year approaching
Heav’n so bright and fair.
Old and young together
Join the pilgrim band
Marching on to vict’ry
And the promised land. [Refrain]
3 Tenderly the Shepherd
Ev’ry lamb doth guide;
Keep us, then, dear Jesus,
Safely by Thy side.
Faithful to Thy promise,
Storms can ne’er dismay;
Mighty Captain, lead us
On in Zion’s way. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Raise the song of triumph]
