ONWARD.

ONWARD—let our motto be Onward! faith is victory; Onward! let the trumpet call Echo o'er this swinging ball! Onward! though a cloudy day Sometimes happens on our way; Gather courage, onward still— Clamber up the rugged hill.
Stem the current, breast the shock, Firmly, like a mountain rock; Onward! though the deepening gloom, Like a shadow from the tomb, Damps our ardor, blinds our sight, Onward! it will soon be right! Gather courage, onward still— Clamber up the rugged hill!
Push ahead—nor fear to fight Through the shades of deepest night; Never fail, as cowards do— God has never made us to; On! we're gaining every day, A point has yielded on our way; We'll scale the barries one by one, The summit's gained—the victory's won! [Church.
