Onward! Onward!

Lewis E. Jones • English

Primary Scripture: Hebrews 12:2

Verse 1

We are marching along, singing as we go, We shall win, conquer sin, vanquish ev’ry foe; Gladly marching along in the Savior’s might, We shall surely gain the day for truth and right.

Chorus

Onward, onward, joyfully, day by day, Never fearing, guided along the way; Hoping, trusting, Jesus we will obey, From hour to hour he gives us pow’r, to gain a victory.

Verse 2

We are marching along, tho’ the world may jeer, Braving ill, onward still, we’ve no need to fear; Gladly marching along heeding Christ’s command, In His name we quickly go to take the land.

Chorus

Onward, onward, joyfully, day by day, Never fearing, guided along the way; Hoping, trusting, Jesus we will obey, From hour to hour he gives us pow’r, to gain a victory.

Verse 3

We are marching along, victory is sure, Join our band, lend a hand, faithfully endure; Gladly marching along to a home above, Keep from harm each moment by a Savior’s love.

Chorus

Onward, onward, joyfully, day by day, Never fearing, guided along the way; Hoping, trusting, Jesus we will obey, From hour to hour he gives us pow’r, to gain a victory.
