First Line: Press on, press on, O pilgrim,

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 !
