1 Onward, upward, homeward, hastily 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.
Refrain:
Onward to the glory,
Upward to the prize,
Homeward to the mansions
Far above the skies.
2 Onward, upward, homeward, here I find no rest;
Treading o’er the desert which my Savior pressed;
Onward, upward homeward, I shall soon be there;
Soon its joys and pleasures I, through grace, shall share. [Refrain]
3 Onward, upward, homeward, come along with me;
Ye who love the Savior, hear me company;
Onward, upward, homeward, press with vigor on;
Yet a little while, and the race is won. [Refrain]
