Ever Onward (Crosby)

Whither are you go­ing

Pilgrims of a day?

Tarry but a mo­ment

Rest you on your way;

No

we can­not lin­ger here

Day is wan­ing fast;

We must reach the hav­en

Ere the light is past.

Onward

ev­er on­ward

Tho’ by tem­pest driv­en;

O how sweet the pro­mise

We shall rest in Heav’n!

You will soon be wea­ry

Pilgrims of a day

Trials are be­fore you

Dangers in your way;

Still by faith we’ll jour­ney on

Tho’ our path be drear;

If the Sav­ior lead us

What have we to fear?

Pilgrims

are you go­ing

Where the an­gels’ song

O’er the fields of glo­ry

Gently floats along?

Yes

we seek the bet­ter land

Lovely

pure and fair

Where no grief can en­ter—

Will you meet us there?

May we jour­ney with you

Pilgrims of a day?

Will you help us on­ward

In the heav­en­ly way?

Come

we glad­ly bid you come

Day is wan­ing fast

We must reach the hav­en

Ere the light is past.
