ONWARD, "ONE BIG UNION!
By Ralph Cheney
(To be sung to the tune of "Onword, Chistian Soldiers")

Onward, One Big Union,
Joy and justice led,
With the Free Society
Shining out ahead!
Freedom, our one master,
Leads against the foe.

Forward unto battle
We, the workers go.
Onward, One Big Union,
Joy and justice led,
With the Free Society
Shining out ahead!

War and wrong shall perish
Poverty shall cease.
Hatred, wrath, and slavery
Yield to joy and peace.

(REFRAIN)

Gates of jails can never
Gainst our will prevail.
We've the world's one power;
And we cannot fail.
