Faint, Yet Pursuing

Verse 1

Faint, yet pursuing, we press our way, Up to the glorious gates of day; Following Him who has gone before, Over the path to the brighter shore.

Chorus

Faint, yet pursuing, from day to day, Over the sure and the blood-marked way; Strengthen and keep us, O Savior, friend, Ever pursuing, unto life’s end.

Verse 2

Faint, yet pursuing, whate’er befall, He who has died for us, died for all; So should they come, as a mighty throng Bearing His banner aloft with song.

Verse 3

Faint, yet pursuing, till eventide, Under the cross of the Crucified; Knowing, when darkly are skies o’ercast, Sorrow and sighing will end at last.

Verse 4

Faint, yet pursuing, the eye afar Sees thro’ the darkness the morning star, Shedding its ray for the weary feet, Keeping the way, to the golden street.
