Redemption Songs ‎#248a

248a. Passing Onward

1 Passing onward, quickly passing;
But, I ask thee, whither bound?
Is it to the many mansions,
Where eternal rest is found?
Passing onward, Passing onward,
Tell me, sinner, whither bound?

2 Passing onward, quickly passing;
Nought the wheels of time can stay;
Sweet the thought that some are going
To the realms of perfect day;
Passing onward, Passing onward,
Christ their leader, Christ their Way.

3 Passing onward, quickly passing;
Many on the downward road;
Careless of their souls immortal,
Heeding not the call of God,
Passing onward, Passing onward,
Trampling on the Saviour's blood.

4 Passing onward, quickly passing;
Time its course will quickly run;
Still we hear the fond entreaty
Of the ever gracious One:
Come and welcome, Come and welcome,
'Tis by Me that life is won.
