1 Press on, press on, ye workers,
Be loyal, brave, and true:
Great things the Lord is doing,
And greater things will do;
His army, still increasing
With each revolving year,
Shall send a shout of rapture forth
That all the world shall hear.

Chorus:
Rejoice, rejoice, ye workers all, rejoice;
O, clap your hands and sing,
O, clap your hands and sing;
God’s holy church shall triumph yet, triumph yet, triumph yet,
And he shall reign our King, shall reign our King.

2 The walls of leagued oppression
To dust shall fall away;
The sword of truth eternal
No power on earth can stay;
Though all the hosts of darkness
Were marshalled on the field,
The church of God would stand unmoved,
With Christ her strength and shield. [Chorus]

3 Behold her marching onward,
In majesty sublime,
Along the rolling prairies
That bound our western clime;
And soon from every hamlet
On all our vast frontier
Glad songs shall rise to Jesus,
While skeptics turn to hear. [Chorus]
