Press on, press on, O pilgrim, Rejoicing in the Lord ; Believing in His promise, And trusting in His word ; Fear not ! for He is with us, Whate'er the cross we bear ; And soon, beyond the swelling tide, We'll gather over there !
Gather over there ! gather over there ! And soon, beyond the swelling tide, we'll gather over there !
2. Press on, press on, O pilgrim, Along the heavenly way ; Remember, God commands us To watch, and work, and pray ; He bids us all be faithful, And cast on Him our care ; And soon, beyond the swelling tide, We'll gather over there !
3. Press on, press on, O pilgrim, Though clouds and storms may The Light that never faileth [rise ; Shines brightly in the skies : Press on where crowns await us, In yonder mansions fair ; And soon, beyond the swelling tide, We'll gather over there !
