Speeding Onward

We are speed­ing

speed­ing on­ward

To the great tri­umph­ant day

When we’ll lay our bur­dens down at Je­sus’ feet;

With the migh­ty host un­num­bered

We shall stand in white ar­ray—

In the gran­deur so am­az­ing lost com­plete.

Speeding on­ward

home to glo­ry

Where the saved with Je­sus dwell

Soon we’ll join that hap­py chor­us

Evermore His prais­es swell.

We are speed­ing

speed­ing on­ward

We the vic­to­ry shall win

And in tri­umph we shall safe­ly reach the goal;

Tho’ the clouds may ga­ther o’er us

We’ll not lose the sight of Him

’Tis His pre­sence that il­lum­in­ates the soul.

We are speed­ing

speed­ing on­ward

To the bless­èd home ab­ove

O the joys that will at­tend us ov­er there!

Then we’ll shout and sing the prais­es

Of the Sav­ior’s won­drous love

As we en­ter in­to man­sions bright and fair.
