I mean to go right on
until the crown is won;
I mean to fight the fight of faith
till life on earth is done.
I’ll nevermore turn back,
defeat I shall not know,
For God will give me victory
if onward I shall go.
I’m going on, I’m going on,
Unto the final triumph, I’m going on;
I’m going on, I’m going on,
Unto the final triumph, I’m going on.
Should opposition come,
should foes obstruct my way,
Should persecution’s fires be lit,
as in the ancient day—
With Jesus by my side,
His peace within my soul,
No matter if the battle’s hot,
I mean to win the goal.
I’m going on, I’m going on,
Unto the final triumph, I’m going on;
I’m going on, I’m going on,
Unto the final triumph, I’m going on.
I see a shining crown
awaiting over there,
I see a mansion all prepared
and decked with beauties rare:
Shall that which intervenes
deprive me of my right?
Nay, on I’ll go until I reach
that city of delight.
I’m going on, I’m going on,
Unto the final triumph, I’m going on;
I’m going on, I’m going on,
Unto the final triumph, I’m going on.
Then forward let us go,
our hearts with love aflame,
Our snowy banner borne aloft,
inscribed with Jesus’ name.
The hosts of evil flee,
and heaven’s open gates
Invite me now to hasten
where eternal glory waits.
I’m going on, I’m going on,
Unto the final triumph, I’m going on;
I’m going on, I’m going on,
Unto the final triumph, I’m going on.
