On, Toilers, Onward

On

toil­ers

on­ward

ne’er look­ing down­ward

Rejoicing

ev­er keep thy eye ab­ove

For God is o’er us

He goes be­fore us;

His ban­ner ov­er us is love.

On

march on with chor­us loud and strong

O sing it

on

march on

For right against the wrong

O ring it

on march on

Our watch­word in the fray

With God in sight we’ll work for right

And win the day.

Go forth

O toil­ers

glad serv­ice giv­ing

In low­ly places giv­en o’er to sin;

Till

free from sor­row

shall fair to­mor­row

Rejoice with sheaves all gar­nered in.

Then on­ward

toil­ers

in shade or glad­ness

With stea­dy pur­pose ev­er strong and true

The har­vest glo­ri­ous

in strife vic­tor­ious

The la­bor­er crowned when toil is thro’.
