158. We'll Never Turn Back Any More

1 There's a land, we are told,
Where the streets are of gold,
Just across on the bright shining shore;
We've left Egypt behind
That fair country to find,
And we'll never turn back any more.

Chorus:
No, we'll never turn back any more,
No, we'll never turn back any more;
We are pressing our way
Toward that fair land of day,
And we'll never turn back any more.

2 There, with palms in their hands,
Are the saints from all lands,
Singing praises to God o'er and o'er;
We are marching along,
Soon we'll join in their song,
And we'll never turn back any more. [Chorus]

3 For our God and the right
We have entered the fight,
And we'll follow where he goes before;
For we conquer each day,
While we fight as we pray,
And we'll never turn back any more. [Chorus]

4 Praise the Lord for his grace,
We have entered a place
Where we're safe, tho' the loud tempests roar;
Let the world laugh and sneer,
We are satisfied here,
And we'll never turn back any more. [Chorus]

5 So on God we rely,
Pressing on till we die;
Then, when battles of life all are o'er,
With our Saviour we'll rest,
In that land of the blest,
And we'll never turn back any more. [Chorus]
