Lyrics
Onward and upward and forward today,
Onward renewing thy strength in the way;
Upward, tho' rugged and steep be the hill,
Forward the word of the Lord to fulfill!
Onward and upward and homeward the while,
Upward, thy sunlight the Saviour's own smile;
Onward, His presence thy shade from the heat,
Homeward, for home after exile is sweet!
Onward and upward be strong in the Lord,
He is thy shield, thine eternal reward;
He is gone forward thy place to prepare,
Homeward thou goest to dwell with Him there.
Chorus:
Onward and upward with carols of praise,
Angelic-like anthems in pilgrim-like lays;
Mountain and valley shall echo Thy song.
Onward and upward, it is not for long.
Onward renewing thy strength in the way;
Upward, tho' rugged and steep be the hill,
Forward the word of the Lord to fulfill!
Onward and upward and homeward the while,
Upward, thy sunlight the Saviour's own smile;
Onward, His presence thy shade from the heat,
Homeward, for home after exile is sweet!
Onward and upward be strong in the Lord,
He is thy shield, thine eternal reward;
He is gone forward thy place to prepare,
Homeward thou goest to dwell with Him there.
Chorus:
Onward and upward with carols of praise,
Angelic-like anthems in pilgrim-like lays;
Mountain and valley shall echo Thy song.
Onward and upward, it is not for long.
