Up, and away, while the blush of the morn­ing
Tips ev­ery leaf with its pure, bright ray;
Up, while the spring­time the earth is adorn­ing,
Come, while the Sav­ior is call­ing to­day.

Refrain

Give to the Sav­ior each grate­ful emo­tion;
Give Him, with glad­ness, our ear­nest de­vo­tion;
Then will His love, roll­ing on like the ocean,
Fill ev­ery heart with its full­ness today.

Up, and away, on the jour­ney be­fore us;
Follow the Sav­ior in youth’s bright spring;
Now while the cloud of His mer­cy is o’er us,
Haste, let us go, and re­joice while we sing.

Refrain

Up, and away, for the mo­ments are fleet­ing;
Up, and away, like the tried and true;
Up, and away, to each oth­er re­peat­ing,
God has a work for the child­ren to do.

Refrain

Up, and away, to the fair land of glo­ry;
There may we rest, when our jour­ney’s past;
Rest with the faith­ful, pr­oclaim­ing the sto­ry,
Through our Re­deem­er we’re safe, safe at last.

Refrain
