Press Onward.
Tune-- "Homeward Bound."
Children, press onward, the prize is in view,
Jesus is bidding you come
Crowns of bright glory are waiting for you,
Jesus is bidding you come
Onward 0 stay not for pleasures below,
Onward though trials you meet as you go,
Jesus has promised his grace to bestow,
Jesus is bidding you come!
Onward! press onward the heavenly way,
Jesus is bidding you come!
Onward! let nothing your courage dismay,
Jesus is bidding you come!
For you he left the bright mansions above,
Meekly he suffered your sins to remove;
0 what unbounded, what infinite love,
Jesus is bidding you come!
Mansions in heaven he's gone to prepare,
Jesus is bidding you come!
You with his people these mansions may share,
Jesus is bidding you come!
Blessed are they who obey his commands,
They in the day of his vengeance shall stand,
Held by their Father's omnipotent hand,
Jesus is bidding you come.
