Up and Onward

Up and on­ward

Christ­ian work­ers

Life is fleet­ing

do not stray;

Great the har­vest

few the toil­ers

Up and on­ward

haste away!

Haste away

then

Christ­ian work­ers

Hear the deep

des­pair­ing call;

Go and res­cue those that per­ish

Lend a help­ing hand to all.

Where the reap­ers bear their bur­dens

In the toil and heat of day

Where the gold­en sheaves are wav­ing

Up and on­ward

haste away!

Where the con­flict fierce­ly rag­es

On the bat­tle­field to­day

With our ban­ner

shield and buck­ler

Up and on­ward

haste away!

Consecrated to the serv­ice

Of our Sav­ior and our Lord;

Ever faith­ful

true and ear­nest

We shall gain the great re­ward.
