Onward and Upward

Verse 1

Onward, still, and upward, Follow evermore Where our mighty Leader Goes in love before; "Looking unto Jesus," Reach a helping hand To a struggling neighbor, Helping him to stand.

Chorus

Marching onward, upward, Marching steadily, onward, Jesus leads the way, Marching onward, upward, Onward unto glory, To the perfect day.

Verse 2

Onward, ever onward, Thro' the pastures green, Where the streams flow softy, Under skies serene; Or, if need be, upward, O'er the rocky steep, Trusting him who guides us, Strong to save and keep.

Verse 3

Upward, ever upward, Toward the radiant glow, Far above the valley, Where the mist hangs low; On, with songs of gladness, Till the march shall end, Where ten thousand thousand Hallelujahs blend.
