Up and on­ward, Chris­tian work­ers,
Life is fleet­ing, do not stray;
Great the har­vest, few the toil­ers,
Up and on­ward, haste away!

Refrain

Haste away, then, Chris­tian work­ers,
Hear the deep, des­pair­ing call;
Go and res­cue those that per­ish,
Lend a help­ing hand to all.

Where the reap­ers bear their bur­dens
In the toil and heat of day,
Where the gold­en sheaves are wav­ing,
Up and on­ward, haste away!

Refrain

Where the con­flict fierce­ly rag­es
On the bat­tle­field to­day,
With our ban­ner, shield and buck­ler,
Up and on­ward, haste away!

Refrain

Consecrated to the ser­vice
Of our Sav­ior and our Lord;
Ever faith­ful, true and ear­nest,
We shall gain the great re­ward.
