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.

Refrain

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

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

Refrain

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.

Refrain
