FORWARD EVER FORWARD

Joyful we walk
on the King’s highway,
Forward, ever forward;
High is our purpose
and bright is the day,
Forward, ever forward.
All to our Lord we will gladly yield,
For by His Spirit
our hearts are sealed;
In us His glory shall be revealed,
Forward, ever forward.

Christ, our Redeemer,
shall lead the way
Onward, ever onward;
Nothing our progress
to glory shall stay,
Onward, ever onward.
Facing the foe with an ardor high,
Plying our weapons till he must fly;
Vict’ry in Jesus shall be our cry,
Onward, ever onward.

Courage, then, brother,
our way doth lie
Upward, ever upward;
On let us press to
our home in the sky,
Upward, ever upward.
Crowns are awaiting us over there,
Glories unsullied that we may share;
Hasten to win all
those treasures rare,
Upward, ever upward.

Sure shall our footsteps
the pathway keep,
Trusting, ever trusting;
O’er the obstructions
we boldly shall leap,
Trusting, ever trusting.
Then when the day
of this world is done,
And in eternity life begun,
We shall remember
that it was won
Trusting, ever trusting.
