Onward Pressing

T’ward the mark my feet are press­ing

On the list my name shall be;

To the race my­self ad­dress­ing

’Till the bright re­ward I see.

O the race

the race I’m win­ning!

Onward! on­ward let me fly!

O the race! ’tis now be­gin­ning

Onward! on­ward till I die.

T’ward the mark my feet are press­ing

Sin in vain her snares shall spread;

Tho’ I stum­ble

still pro­gress­ing

Safely by the Spir­it led.

T’ward the mark I’m dai­ly press­ing

Death shall clasp my feet in vain;

’Tis the goal where waits the bless­ing

Dying

shall with Christ

be gain.
