Though the storm clouds darken the sky,
Carefully, tear­ful­ly will I draw nigh,
Bravely and cheer­ful­ly, Christ­ian, press on.
start
Onward to the glo­ry,
I will not be afraid;
High over all, to hear Thy loving voice,
I’m a tra­vel­er, call me not,
Risen, crowned, Prince of Peace.
And filled with His in­fi­nite love!
Which are before, I pursue toward the goal for the prize
Step by step O lead me on­ward,
To do His bless­èd will;
In this simple way,
Onward we press in haste,
And, while hang­ing on the tree,
Joy, with our heart’s love out­pour­ing,
Restrain im­pe­tuous pas­sions, Lord,
With Christ in God above,
See, whilst the saint ex­pir­ing lies,

Upward

I just keep calling, “O Lord”;
Mercy for all in the Sav­ior to see,
Jesus is stand­ing and plead­ing for thee;
Silent, si­lent in their turn­ing
Homeward to the man­sions
And travel onward,
Jesus triumphant, when in work for Thee,
Heaven is my rest­ing place,
Ever upward in Thy face;
Away to its home ab­ove.
end
Wiser, strong­er, still be­com­ing
And do His plea­sure still.
To that day.
Ours is the path the Mas­ter trod
Is it true—Oh, is it true?
Praying that Je­sus, our Sav­ior,
Give them a heart to know Thy word,
Whom, seeing not, we love.
In praise he spends his lat­est breath,
