Onward, Upward

Verse 1

Onward, upward, Christian soldier, Bravely push the battle on; There’s a great reward before us, Soon the conflict will be won.

Chorus

Hallelujah! shout the chorus, Onward, upward is our song; Crowns of vict’ry lie before us, Boldly march against the wrong.

Verse 2

Grasp the sword, then go with courage, Ever humbly watch and pray; Never, never be discouraged, Never falter by the way.

Verse 3

Go the captives to deliver, Leaving all the world behind; Hoping, trusting—doubting never— Crowns in heaven we shall find.

Verse 4

Onward, upward is the watchword, Till the King of saints we see; Then before His throne in glory, We shall reign eternally.
