ONWARD, UPWARD, HOMEWARD

         

                         ONWARD, UPWARD, HOMEWARD

“Onward, upward, homeward!”
Joyfully I flee
From this world of sorrow,
With my Lord to be;
Onward to the glory,
Upward to the prize,
Homeward to the mansions,
Far above the skies.

Chorus
Onward to the glory,
Upward to the prize,
Homeward to the mansions,
Far above the skies.

Verse 2
“Onward, upward, homeward!”
Here I find no rest;
Treading o’er the desert
Which my Saviour pressed;
“Onward, upward, homeward!”
I shall soon be there,
Soon its joys and pleasures,
I, thro’ grace, shall share.

Verse 3
“Onward, upward, homeward!”
Come along with me;
Ye who love the Saviour,
Bear me company;
“Onward, upward, homeward!”
Press with vigor on;
Yet a little moment
And the race is won.
