Heart and voice in harmony resounding,
Sweetly join the chorus of the skies.

Praise our God, who reigneth evermore;
Praise our God, His blessed name adore;
Onward now! His mighty love proclaiming,
Sweetly join the chorus of the skies.

Onward now! the Christian armor wearing;
Onward now! the royal standard bearing,
Let our songs in happy concert rise. [Refrain]

Strong in Him, our triumph will be glorious;
Onward now! His loving care is o’er us;
In His hand behold the heavenly prize. [Refrain]

Onward now! our courage failing never;
Looking home beyond the silent river,
Looking home where pleasure never dies. [Refrain] Scripture: Exodus 40:26 Tune Title: [Onward now, the trumpet call is sounding]
Onward Now!
