Press for­ward, press for­ward,
The all-inclusive Christ.
Onward to the glo­ry,
With such a hope, shall Is­ra­el flee,
That calls thee from on high;
Waves be­fore you glo­ry’s prize,
I pursue toward the goal
Cast thy ev­ery weight aside;
To tell our voy­age—per­ils o’er!
Run on a racecourse, all run,
Then in His grace suf­fi­cient
Your knees are faint, your souls cast down;
Count the cost; reckon all things as loss;
Have you en­tered the race
Why sleep we, my breth­ren? Come, let us arise,

The prize

While life’s bright morn, with ro­sy hue,
Press on, press on to Christ!
Homeward to the man­sions
No! let a care­less world re­pose,
To thine as­pir­ing eye.
Seize your ar­mor, gird it on;
The high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Trusting Him, thy pre­cious guide.
The ath­lete near­ly fell;
Run in this way, that you may lay hold.
Awake! loy­al work­er,
Is near, a kingdom and a crown.
Burn the bridges; leave the world behind;
For the crown of im­mor­tal life?
Salvation is near­er, our days are far spent,
