A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) ‎#312

312. Press On!

Press on, press on! ye sons of light,
Untiring in your holy fight,
Still treading each temptation down,
And battling for a brighter crown.

Press on, press on! through toil and woe,
With calm resolve, to triumph go,
And make each dark and threatening ill
Yield but a higher glory still.

Press on, press on! still look in faith
To him who vanquished sin and death;
Then shall ye hear God’s word, “Well done!”
True to the last, press on, press on!
