Hymn Context Compare
Though the storm clouds darken the sky,
I will not be afraid;
High over all, to hear Thy loving voice,
Risen, crowned, Prince of Peace.
Which are before, I pursue toward the goal for the prize
In this simple way,
With Christ in God above,
The falling of a tear;
The Lord has a reward for us.
Blessed is he who will keep in the way
Seem to make the journey shorter,
Seem to make the journey shorter,
start
“Consider Him,” and as you run the race,
And tells me of the guilt within,
Longing for reality;
And set Your anchors there.
Armor ne’er laid down,
Armor ne’er laid down,
Out of despair into raptures above,

upward

I just keep calling, “O Lord”;
And travel onward,
Jesus triumphant, when in work for Thee,
Ever upward in Thy face;
end
To that day.
Whom, seeing not, we love.
When none but God is near.
To His Christ, for our prize
On the vast riches of Christ feed each day;
He is coming! He is coming!
He is coming! He is coming!
New heights I’m gaining every day;
And thus transformed, illumined thou shalt be,
Who made an end of all my sin.
Thirsting for the sight of Thee.
Reach your destination
To the blood-bought crown.
To the blood-bought crown.
Jesus, I come to Thee!
