<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>Onward, onward, men of heaven!<br>
|
|
Bear the Gospel’s banner high;<br>
|
|
Rest not, till its light is given,<br>
|
|
Star of every pagan sky,<br>
|
|
Send it where the pilgrim stranger<br>
|
|
Faints beneath the torrid ray;<br>
|
|
Bid the red browed forest ranger<br>
|
|
Hail it, ere he fades away.</p>
|
|
<p>Where the Arctic ocean thunders,<br>
|
|
Where the tropics fiercely glow,<br>
|
|
Broadly spread its page of wonders,<br>
|
|
Brightly bid its radiance flow.<br>
|
|
India marks its luster stealing;<br>
|
|
Shivering Greenland loves its rays;<br>
|
|
Afric, ’mid her deserts kneeling,<br>
|
|
Lifts the untaught strain of praise.</p>
|
|
<p>Rude in speech, or grim in feature,<br>
|
|
Dark in spirit, though they be,<br>
|
|
Show that light to every creature—<br>
|
|
Prince or vassal, bond or free.<br>
|
|
Lo! they haste to every nation,<br>
|
|
Host on host the ranks supply;<br>
|
|
Onward! Christ is your salvation<br>
|
|
And your death is victory.</p>
