I now am running
in the Christian race,
To gain the promised prize;
Through Jesus’ matchless,
saving, keeping grace,
We’ll crown Him in the skies.
We shall run and not be weary,
We shall walk and never faint,
We’re trav’ling to our happy home,
We’ll walk and never faint.
We’ll run and never falter by the way,
For Jesus’ word is true;
He’s promised, if we ever will obey,
To bring us safely through.
We shall run and not be weary,
We shall walk and never faint,
We’re trav’ling to our happy home,
We’ll walk and never faint.
I’ll stand upon His word
and prove His pow’r,
The Rock of Ages past;
I know He’ll keep me
trusting every hour,
While life on earth shall last.
We shall run and not be weary,
We shall walk and never faint,
We’re trav’ling to our happy home,
We’ll walk and never faint.
The heavy weights of sin
are laid aside,
My heart is free and light;
There’s nothing we may fear
which can betide,
Our hope is clear and bright.
We shall run and not be weary,
We shall walk and never faint,
We’re trav’ling to our happy home,
We’ll walk and never faint.
When life is o’er
and labor here is done,
Can we thus say with Paul?—
“I’ve fought the fight,
and there’s a starry crown,
That’s waiting for us all.”
We shall run and not be weary,
We shall walk and never faint,
We’re trav’ling to our happy home,
We’ll walk and never faint.
