Onward, upward, homeward!
Joyfully I flee
From this world of sorrow,
With my Lord to be:
Onward to the glory;
Upward to the prize;
Homeward to the mansions
Far above the skies.
Onward to the glory!
Upward to the prize!
Homeward to the mansions
Far above the skies!
Onward, upward, homeward!
Here I find no rest;
Treading o’er the desert
Which my Saviour pressed.
Onward, upward, homeward!
I shall soon be there;
Soon its joys and pleasures
I, through grace, shall share.
Onward to the glory!
Upward to the prize!
Homeward to the mansions
Far above the skies!
Onward, upward, homeward!
Come along with me;
Ye who love the Saviour,
Bear me company,
Onward, upward, homeward!
Press with vigour on;
Yet a little moment,
And the race is won.
Onward to the glory!
Upward to the prize!
Homeward to the mansions
Far above the skies!
