There are heights that frown before us,
There are foes on every side;
Yet we mean to journey onward,
Though the darkest ills betide.
Onward and upward,
Be our watchword still
And we'll surely conquer, surely conquer,
If we do God's holy will.
We are striving for a purpose,
We are living for the right;
And we know the Lord is with us,
For we feel his arm of might.
Onward and upward,
Be our watchword still
And we'll surely conquer, surely conquer,
If we do God's holy will.
All this life is filled with warfare,
There are always fields to win;
And we rally for the conflict
With no thought of fear within.
Onward and upward,
Be our watchword still
And we'll surely conquer, surely conquer,
If we do God's holy will.
Onward t'ward the goal we hasten,
Where we'll gain the prize of life.
Upward look we to the Saviour,
Gaining strength to bide the strife.
Onward and upward,
Be our watchword still
And we'll surely conquer, surely conquer,
If we do God's holy will.
