1 Press onward with rejoicing!
The conflict may be long,
Raise high the royal standard!
His grace will make you strong.

Chorus:
Press onward, onward, with the cross on high,
Press onward, onward, victory is nigh;
Press onward, onward, with his banner go,
Press onward, onward to conquer ev'ry foe.

2 Where Jesus leads we'll follow,
In armor bright arrayed,
March on with songs of triumph!
Trust God! Be not afraid! [Chorus]

3 His cross is lifted o'er us,
His kingdom draweth nigh;
The Lord is out salvation,
His glory fills the sky. [Chorus]

Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
