The Heavenly Race

Rejoice

my soul

the trum­pet sounds

And calls thee to the strife;

Forget the things that are be­hind

And seek the crown of life.

Press on­ward

on­ward

oh

my soul

Look up to Christ

thy Lord—

You fight

I’ll con­quer

He hath said;

Trust in His faith­ful word.

A host of witness­es around

Behold thee in the fight;

Keep on the path their feet have trod

And keep the crown in sight.

Thy glo­ri­ous cap­tain from on high

With joy looks down on thee

You fight

I’ll con­quer

is His word

I’ll give the vic­to­ry.
