Help It On

There's a good time coming

Help it on, Help it on,

There's a good time coming,

Help it on, Help it on.

Every heart is drumming,

All the air with it is humming,

Help it on, Help it on,

Help it on, on, on!

When you find a noble cause,

Help it on, Help it on,

When you find a noble cause,

Help it on, Help it on,

Never wait for man's applause,

Never count the cost or pause,

Help it on, Help it on,

Help it on, on, on!

There's a future on the way,

Help it on, Help it on,

There's a future on the way,

Help it on, Help it on,

When night shall turn to day

For the right shall have the way,

Help it on, Help it on,

Help it on, on, on!

When the right shall win,

Help it on, Help it on,

When the right shall win

Help it on, Help it on,

There will be no want or sin,

And the good times will begin

Help it on, Help it on,

Help it on, on, on!
