Pressing onward, glad and free, Sweeter will his service be, Richer his rewards of love, Foretastes of the feast above. [Refrain] 3 What tho’ temptations may beckon you aside? Follow where his voice is guiding; Under his banner in loyalty abide, Follow where his voice is guiding. Though the way seem hard and long, Faith will sing her cheery song; Soon we’ll lay the burdens down, Then the palm, the harp, the crown.
