Onward, children, onward!
Leave the paths of sin;
Hasten to the strait gate,
Strive to enter in;
None can knock unheeded,
None can strive in vain,
For the Savior’s welcome
All that seek obtain.
Onward, children, onward!
Is the call today;
Come with ready footsteps,
And that call obey.
Onward, children, onward!
In the narrow way.
Christ your Lord shall lead you
Safely day by day;
And with such a leader
What have you to fear?
Satan may oppose you,
But your king is near.
Onward, children, onward!
Is the call today;
Come with ready footsteps,
And that call obey.
Onward, ever onward!
Till you join the throng
Who in dazzling raiment
Sing the triumph song,
And to heav’nly music
Cry with one accord,
"Holy! Holy! Holy!
Is our sovereign Lord."
Onward, children, onward!
Is the call today;
Come with ready footsteps,
And that call obey.
