Falter not nor look behind thee
Cast thy every weight aside;
Haste to win the prize before thee
Trusting Him
thy precious guide.
Falter not
nor look behind thee
Still thy course with joy pursue;
Persevere
for thou must conquer
With the cross of Christ in view.
Falter not nor look behind thee
Firm and fearless take thy place;
Robe and crown and palm are waiting
For the victors in the race.
Falter not nor look behind thee
Lest thy labor prove in vain;
Run with patience
and remember
Thou hast much to lose or gain.
Falter not nor look behind thee
Lo
the prize is just in sight;
One more struggle
meet it bravely
Speed thee on with all thy might.
Falter not nor look behind thee
What of all thy trials past
If by grace through faith in Jesus
Thine the victor’s crown at last?
