Trusting in the Lord thy God, Onward go ! onward go ! Holding fast His promised word, Onward go ! Ne'er deny His worthy name, Though it bring reproach and shame ; Spreading still His wondrous fame, Onward go !
2. Has He called thee to the plough ? Night is coming, serve Him now; Faith and love in service blend ; On His mighty arm depend ; Standing fast until the end, Onward go !
3. Has He given thee golden grain ? Sow, and thou shalt reap again ; To thy Master's gate repair, Watching be and waiting there ; He will hear and answer prayer : Onward go !
4. Has He said the end is near ? Serving Him with holy fear, Christ thy portion, Christ thy stay, Heavenly bread upon the way ; Leading on to glorious day : Onward go !
5. In this little moment then, In thy ways acknowledge Him ; Let His mind be found in thee ; Let His will thy pleasure be ; Thus in life and liberty, Onward go !
